 |
|
HI, I have had this problem for some time on different distros.
Sometimes NVDriver looses agp. Can be checked with
| Code: | | cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status |
There is an (inactive) added after AGPGART. The problem is that the only way to wake it up as I know of is to rmmod NVdriver and restart X. Anybody know what causes this and if there is a fix without restarting X. The Nvidia driver doesn't recognise my chipset so I have to use AGPGART, VIA KT333.
If anybody have not seen this problem you will be amazed at the double framerate ut2003 will give you when AGP is active.
My specs are AtlhonXP 1700 and Geforce4 4400 but I have had the problem on other harddware too. |

Hello Lussarn,
Isn't it NVAGP for KT333 ?
you might want to check this : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia_tsg.xml if you didn't already.
Good luck, I can't help you more  |

AGP works fine for me using either nvagp or agpgart using a kt400 with a 8235 southbridge. It's probably the same southbridge that your board uses although some kt333's use 8233's, both are supported in 2.4.20.
Use a 2.4.20+ kernel and you shouldn't have any problems with agp. |
