/dev/agpgart modules problems since emerging [solved]

[martinm1000]

I posted the initial thread to the wrong forum, here : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2579145.html#2579145

Here is my last post :

Ok, I found something...

I think there is some problem with module loading, possibly since the
latest module-init-tools-3.2_pre7-r1...

I found this post : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2579106.html

and then, looking at Xorg.0.log :
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(WW) I810(0): /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available
--) I810(0): Xv is disabled because it needs 2D accel and AGPGART.

And I tested this :

I have no /dev/agpgart !

#rmmod agpgart
#cd /lib/modules/2.6.12-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/char/agp/
#modprobe agpgart
#insmod intel-agp

modprobe intel-agp don't work, dmesg doesn't say why, there are no errors shown...

and now I have the two modules are loaded... Still not sure how it help me, I'll try to
restart xorg.

Its working !

I had to stop xdm (gdm) and restarting Xorg with startx, he found /dev/agpgart and the mplayer video driver works again (it was XV).

So... What to do now ? I have a solution, but not sure who/what cause the problem...

hi martinm1000,

Next time just ask in here if you want a post or thread moved.

About your question: seems to be a problem with mod-init-tools. see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99308
