Im new to gentoo, but i have been able to get ewrything installed etc., But when i try to startx using my 82810E Intel Chipset i get an error saying it was uable to find AGP GART support.
I have dev/agppart enabled in the kernel but its missing. I cant find the actual module. Is there something that i did wrong? How do get this module? Any help would be apreciated..

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Look at your kernel config under Device Drivers --> Character devices --> /dev/agpgart (AGP support).
What graphics card do you have? Is it AGP or PCI-E?

Hi.
Here it is:
| Code: |
[ ] Support for console on line printer
│ │ < > Support for user-space parallel port device drivers
│ │ < > Texas Instruments parallel link cable support
│ │ IPMI --->
│ │ Watchdog Cards --->
│ │ <*> Intel/AMD/VIA HW Random Number Generator support
│ │ <*> /dev/nvram support
│ │ <*> Enhanced Real Time Clock Support
│ │ < > Double Talk PC internal speech card support
│ │ < > Siemens R3964 line discipline
│ │ < > Applicom intelligent fieldbus card support
│ │ <M> Sony Vaio Programmable I/O Control Device support (EXPERIMENTAL)
│ │ Ftape, the floppy tape device driver --->
│ │ --- /dev/agpgart(AGPSupport)
│ │ <M> ALI chipset support
<M> ATI chipset support
|
The thing is there is no adpgart in /dev
And I have a Intel 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] |

You should enable the support for the Intel 440LX... or the appropriate chipset for your board.
| Code: | --- /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) │ │
│M│ < > Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support |
Does that help?

Yes I understand but even if I do that it still gives this error when i startx:
| Code: |
(EE) GARTInit : Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
|
And I did check my /dev directory and indeed there is no agpgart there. So my question to you is
how do I get agpgart inthere? |

I had a similar problem. I finally ended up compiling it into the kernel as opposed to a module.

You must select on the kernel config to compile in kernel <*>, instead of compiling as a module <M>.
Then you need to make your kernel and install it.

Well, because im a total noob i ended up totaly messing up my kernel
and ended up getting error messages about my filesystem etc etc.,:<
So I reinstalled gentoo from the ground up, I manually configured my Kernel instead of using genkernel,
compiled agp into kernel, amongs other things, emerged xorg-X11 and what do you know? It worked!! Thanks for all the help.
I really learned alot plus I got a more personalized system, it was a headache to install(at least for me) but i think it was worth the trouble. |

I'm glad that you were able to solve your problem.
Please add [solved] to the title of the thread (edit first message).
