I have a VIA VT82xx based mobo and an nvidia Geforce 4 mx AGP 8x card. I don't think AGP is event working in linux. On bootup, for /dev/agpgart, it says agp chip is unsupported and here's what cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/* gives me:
/proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card
| Code: |
Fast Writes: Supported
SBA: Supported
AGP Rates: 8x 4x
Registers: 0x1f000e1b:0x00000000
|
/proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge
| Code: |
Host Bridge: PCI device 1106:3205 (VIA Technologies, Inc.)
Fast Writes: Not Supported
SBA: Supported
AGP Rates: 8x 4x
Registers: 0x1f000a0b:0x00000000
|
/proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
| Code: |
Status: Disabled
AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput
of the 'dmesg' command and/or your system log file
for additional information on this problem.

Any ideas. I really want agp, and I also want to be able to use bootsplash and frame buffers on startup which also does not work.

After posting I did some more research on the issue. I tried compiling agpgart as a module rather than compiling it right into the kernel. When I try to "insmod agpgart" it says:
no such device
When I try "insmod agpgart agp_try_unsupported" it says:
invalid argument.

Hmm, 27 views and not posts? I guess nobody's had a similar problem. Anyways, i upgraded from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel (very nice! Mouse is much more responsive) and agp is detected fine according to dmesg but frame buffer still doesn't seem like it's supported becasue whenever i try something like vga=791 or vga=794 i get a message that says You passed an undefined mode number.
Any Ideas?
