Does SuSE fully support AGP? Am I getting the full benefit of my AGP video card?
It's not SuSE that's to blame for your card not being fully exploited, but partially the kernel and partially Mesa. Have a look at http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net for progress on the AGPGart module (required for AGP texturing), which has already been merged with the 2.3 series kernels. For now, in 2D and 3D operation, the 66MHz bus of the AGP subsystem is in use, making your daily work a smidge faster than a PCI card would ;). You didn't mention what video card you have...would you mind replying to the thread with that information?
Also, how do I go about enabling UDMA/33 on my system? I see "DMA disabled" in my bootup sequence.
You'd probably need to recompile your kernel for this. Firstly, you need to know which chipset your motherboard manufacturer used. Second, you want to download the latest kernel from ftp.us.kernel.org (2.2.14, since 2.2.15 is not *quite* ready yet). Third and finally, get familiar with building a kernel. If you post Video/chipset information, I'm sure that somebody can help you, if not myself. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
