I have ASUS 9180SE AGP 8x video card 64MB ram (nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] rev 162). I have edited /etc/XF86Config-4 for driver as nvidia instead of nv. I get X OK with driver from nvidia site.Yes, when using AGP 8X, there is no support for agpgart in the 2.4.x kernel. Look through the list archives, and you will learn more about this issue. I, for one, have posted several times about it. There are some kernel patches out there but most of these seem to be for radeon cards. If you can switch to AGP 4X by way of the bios, I would strongly suggest doing so, or you can wait for the support to be in the newer kernels yet to be released.....
But I have following lines in dmesg.
0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 nvidia.o Kernel Module 1.0-4496 Wed Jul 16 19:03:09 PDT 2003
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M
agpgart: unsupported bridge
agpgart: no supported devices found.
0: NVRM: AGPGART: unable to retrieve symbol table
I have only following warning lines in /var/log/XFree86.0.log (WW) NVIDIA(0): Failure reading EDID parameters for display device CRT-0
I have problem in playing xine. It shows only some white screen in mdk 9.1.
Does the above indicate some where something is wrong?
