cat /etc/modules.d/nvidia gives me
# Nvidia drivers support
alias char-major-195 nvidia
alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195
# To tweak the driver the following options can be used, note that
# you should be careful, as it could cause instability!!
#
# To enable Side Band Adressing: NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
#
# To enable Fast Writes: NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
#
# To enable both for instance, uncomment following line:
#
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1

tnx for the reply.. ive done that, setting the AGP to PCI vice versa in bios and setting /etc/X11/xorg.conf
option "NvAGP" to 1 ,2 and 3.. still no luck , i even tried to recompile my kernel and remove the /dev/agpgart support as written in other topics... still no luck... im willing to start my gentoo installation from scratch if ever i just have misconfigured agp..
anyone??? |

I'll bet the ali_agp driver is returning an error, do a
dmesg |grep "agp"
and see what shows up
my motherboard uses the ALI 1683 bridge too and its not supported by ali_agp, it used to work in kernel 2.4 with the agp_try_unsupported=1 option but thats been taken out of 2.6 (I really have no idea why... anyone?) |
