AMD is categories better in explaining the table structure of the terminal GATT tables - the principle meaning of the bits is identical to those that Intel does use. so you can understand the agpgart programming of the intel chipsets by having read the AMD documentation. just keep in mind that intel does not have that intermediate level of a gatt table directory in its main memory. regards, Alex. _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
