My mainboard is Abit KT7A, when I was using kernel 2.2.x I could use NV internal AGP support, after upgrading kernel to 2.4.x I have to use AGPGART, otherwise it will fall back to PCI mode. > Using the same software I used to generate the Kernel source > documentation on my web server, I took a look at the NVidia driver.

You don't need to to do this, it is in NVdia README Option "NvAGP" "integer" Configure AGP support. Integer argument can be one of: 0 : disable agp 1 : use NVIDIA's internal AGP support, if possible 2 : use AGPGART, if possible 3 : use any agp support (try AGPGART, then NVIDIA's AGP) Default: 1. There are other options you can use. see Appendix D NVGLX readme. Oh well binary drivers sux, but better than setting aside another partition just for running Quake3 under Window$ :) -- +-R-| Netscape Communicator 4.x |-H-| Powered by Linux 2.4.x |-7-+ |/v\ Agus Budy Wuysang MIS Department | | | Phone: +62-21-344-1316 ext 317 GSM: +62-816-1972-051 | +--------| http://www.rad.net.id/users/personal/s/supes |--------+
