Hi, I am having some trouble enabling agpgart in debian unstable. I am running the x86 version of debian, though I am posting to this group because I am running an Asus AV8 Deluxe (chipset K8T800Pro) running linux 2.6.10 (I compiled with Atholon64 on-CPU Gart as modules, /dev/agpgart as module), on boot the modules seem to be loaded.... "agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0 agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 816M agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xdc000000"
"nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-6629 Wed Nov 3 13:12:51 PST 2004 NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!! NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!!"
Yet the status of my nvidia (using the latest driver version) module
in /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status is "Status: Disabled
AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput of the 'dmesg' command and/or your system log file for additional information on this problem.", X (XFree86 4.3 as provided in sid) runs noticably slow especially in gnome (2.8). I am currently running with NvAGP mode 1 the X configuration (XF86Config-4), though I have tried 1-3 and none seem to work.
I too also have been trying for 3 days now to get this working; the graphics performance under x86 is miserable. I'm getting just under 200fps from glxgears.
The frustrating bit is that it works absolutely fine using several of the Debian amd64 kernels - about 2300fps on my old 5200FX card without any tuning or overclocking (nvclock segfaults on amd64 anyway; I've got look into that). I've even taken the exact same source tree and config file, minus the 64-bit config settings, built them running in 32-bit mode, and the performance drops back to nothing.
I wouldn't mind running 64-bit, but am still working through some application issues. E.g. I need vlc, and would like to have et running, but it seems to have all kinds of problems.
