Hi, i'm just new to gentoo and am having problems getting my video card going properly.
Hardware: Winfast 760GXK8MC mobo (SiS964 agp chipset)
Radeon X1600 pro
i've tried fglrx and radeon and nothing's worked, then i noticed that my aperture size is somehow wrong.

i have it set to 128M in the BIOS, but when i do a dmesg | grep agp i get:

Linux agpgart interface v0.103
agpgart: Detected SiS chipset - id:1888
agpgart: AGP aperture is 4M @ 0xe0000000

Does this all look normal?
i'm pretty convinced that the agp isn't being set up right, has anyone seen this before?
