Maybe this can have something to do with it... - is Mandrake 8.2 supplied kernel + is my compiled BenH kernel, with apm emulation
>From XFree86 log: -(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) +(II) Open APM successful The drawback with the BenH kernel is that he seem to have an older r128 driver than Mandrake ship in their kernel, hence I get no video acceleration with my BenhH kernel: +(EE) R128(0): [dri] R128DRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch. +[dri] r128.o kernel module version is 2.1.6 but version 2.2 or greater is needed. +[dri] Disabling the DRI. [snip] -(II) R128(0): Direct rendering enabled +(II) R128(0): Direct rendering disabled BUT! This is interresting with the Mandrake kernel: -(EE) R128(0): [agp] Could not map ring -(WW) R128(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize -- falling back to PCI mode. -(WW) R128(0): [agp] Make sure you have the agpgart kernel module loaded. Yes, the agpgart module is loaded if I check with lsmod there.... and video performance is very good... very interesting... -- http://www.edlund.org/
