You need to add agp_try_unsupported=1 as an option when loading the module. I think modconf gives you an option to do this. I also remember doing this because the module recommended it when I tried to load it. But perhaps I read it somewhere else. Did you snip the above error messages? Anyway, modconf kindly added the following file to my system: brain:/etc/modutils# cat /etc/modutils/agpgart options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1 brain:/etc/modutils# Antony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
