The DDX driver needs to know to decide whether to enable the DRI with PCI GART or disable it, but the kernel might be in a better position to find out (though some XFree86 hackers might disagree :)... > With a lot of the cards you can tell just be looking at the device (or > subsystem) ID, but I don't think that's the case with the Radeons. > Don't they use the same PCI device ID for both AGP and PCI versions? They do for the chips, don't know about the subsystems.
