Hello everyone,

I don't know if there is a more appropriate list for this, but I hope someone 
here can help with my problem.

I pulled the latest CVS for the DRI drivers to update the system for my Savage 
4.0 card. I wanted to see if I got better 3D performance and possibly fix a 
few small issues I had since getting hardware acceleration working about 2 
months ago.  At the same time (in retrospect a poor idea) I decided to 
recompile my kernel to delete more unneeded modules/hardware options. Both 
compiles seem to complete fine, but I no longer get hardware acceleration. I 
traced it to a problem with agpgart.o not loading during boot. Without this 
the savage.o fails to load.

The error message I get from dmesg is
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 322M
agpgart: unsupported bridge
agpgart: no supported devices found.

I am using a K7S5A motherboard and the output of lspci is

I used the same kernel source as I was using the last time I recompiled months 
ago (2.4.23). I have updated to a new version of gcc in the meantime though. 
As a test, I went back and reused my old, original .config file and it still 
does not allow agpgart to load properly so it seems like something else 
changed since I last compiled and it is not related to changing .config 
options like I thought. Does anyone have any ideas what I should look for?

I am using Debian sarge with an Athlon CPU and I have not added new hardware 
or changed BIOS options in a very long time.
