Hi,

I have nVidia 6600GT (on PCI-Express)....
... and 3 stupid questions :wink: Please be patient (n00b inside)


    1) Having a PCI-E card, do I need to compile AGPART in kernel? Weel.. I know I don't have to b/c it works without it, but do I need to? Will it improve anything?

    2) What does NvAGP option to do with it? How should it be set, if at all, for a PCI-E card?

    3) Is emul-linux-x86-nvidia only for AMD platform?

Well, I can only answer the third:

if you are using the amd64 platform, you still wouldn't need it. I've never used it, and I beleive it's masked. Probably pending removal (As I hear all emul-linux-libs are)...
Anyway... Hope that helps.

Thanks,
I don't use AMD. I'm on i686, but I've seen in emul-linux-x86-glibc (which is required for emul*nvidia) ebuilds amd64 keywords, so I thought... Thanks for straighting this out

Anyone with answers to 1) and 2)?

To be honest, these two options are extremely configurable. So configurable that they are changed with a simple option. I'd just try it for yourself. It seems easy enough to set up. :) I'd try it without first...
