To be clearer to the original person, PCI DRI support didn't work except on Alpha architecture. Radeon hardware worked fine in 2D only with DRI disabled though, on both AGP and PCI cards. >> I have an nvidia NFORCE1-based motherboard. >> Agpgart module does not support my north bridge: does this mean that I >> can't accelerate any AGP card (radeon 7200 for example)? > >That's a difficult question.

Wether or not XFree86/DRI drivers are up to scratch on a given XFree86 release or not is another question though. It is much better nowadays than in the past though. >The issue is that the Radeon driver for PCI cards relies on the >existence of a PCI-GART (it does the same as the AGP GART, but >in the PCI bus) which I don't know if it's present on AGP cards. It is, and should work on AGP cards just like a PCI card, with "ForcePCIMode". -- Mike A.
