 Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2006 3:07 pm Post subject: kernel 2.6.18 and /dev/agpgart |
 |
|
I have installed Gentoo from gentoo LiveCD
then, downloaded linux-2.6.18 kernel from www.kernel.org
I have i810 motherboard, I want to configure inbuilt graphics card to get higher resolution 1024x768 in 16 bit colour
In linux-2.6.18 there is no checkbox for /dev/agpgart and i8xx chipset, In menuconfig these options looks like the following,
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
--- /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
--- Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
What should I do to make these options come alive?
Thanks,
belugaw |

You don't have to do anything. "---" means that the option is automatically enabled and you cannot disable it. Look at the help in menuconfig to find out which other option depends on it.

If you select | Code: | | <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) |
and the select "Help", at the end it says | Code: | Depends on: (ALPHA || IA64 || PPC || X86) && PCI
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Character devices
Selected by: FB_I810 && FB && EXPERIMENTAL && PCI && X86_32 || FB_IN |
so it looks as though you need X86 and PCI already selected to get this option.
For | Code: | | <*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support |
it says | Code: | Depends on: AGP && X86
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Character devices
-> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) (AGP [=y])
Selected by: FB_I810 && FB && EXPERIMENTAL && PCI && X86_32 || FB_INT |
so you won't get this without AGP
