In that case, it may indeed be hard to do anything about it. Anyway, you may want to try the snapshots described in http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/README.Debian . You can even try without AGP with those using Option "ForcePCIMode". You'll need to build the DRM from drm-trunk-module-src though. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
