I have no problem accepting the agpgart change, and I think its cleaner.  We
might want to modify that patch in the future so the old behavior can be
selected, but thats not a big deal for now.

Btw, do you have a working driver for the HP IA64 chipset?  If you do, it
might make sense to submit it to Linus and the 2.4 maintainer (I forget his
name) at the same time you submit the patch.  It makes things more likely to
be included.  If you find you need assistance getting the patch into the
kernel (i.e. they ignore your patches), I can submit them for you.

Hi Jeff,

I'm still trying to resolve this issue for clean support of both the
Intel 460GX and the corresponding HP IA64 chipset.

We need either
    (1) an agpgart patch like the attached one,
    (2) a hack in DRM like the one below, or
    (3) some other possibility I haven't thought of.

If we do the agpgart change, we don't need to change DRM,
which in my mind is a big plus.

Do you support putting the attached agpgart patch into the
2.4.x kernel stream (and/or 2.5.x)?  If so, would you like to
push it upstream yourself, or should I continue beating my
head against the wall?
