Hello to all! I finally got my Xpert 2000 card to work propoerly at an even higher frequency than the wicked Windows-driver :)). The only thing that bothers me now, is that the agpgart module isn't loaded automatically, while the r128 is... If I start the X-server without loading the agpgart-module before, I get in the XFree86.0.log :
--- (snip) ... (==) R128(0): Write-combining range (0xe0000000,0x2000000) (II) R128(0): [drm] loaded kernel module "r128" (II) R128(0): [drm] created "r128" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (II) R128(0): [drm] added 4096 byte SAREA at 0xc8845000 (II) R128(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xc8845000 to 0x40016000 (II) R128(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xe0000000 (II) R128(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel !!!

SO: how do I cause the module to be loaded on demand automatically ? -that means: before the r128.o... -by what is the loading of that triggered? thanks for pointers, Gerald.
