The PCI GART functionality requires support from the graphics hardware to make all those sparse pages in system memory look like continuous to the card. R128 and Radeon have it, but that's about the only cards that do have it that I'm aware of. All other cards require that the system memory buffer to be contiguous individually. > > -- /\ > Jens Owen / \/\ _ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ \ \ Steamboat Springs, Colorado > José Fonseca _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
