Log:
When using the binary ATI drivers, if you want ATI's internal agpgart support
instead of the Linux kernel one, you must built agpgart and the
chipset-specific
support in the Linux kernel configuration as either modules or explicitly
disable them.
09:42 <@SwifT> for binary ATI drivers, is it true you need to build the
agpgart
and chipset-specific driver as a module for DRI to work?
09:43 <@spyderous> SwifT: no, that's not true. it's true that they need to be
modular or not at all if you want ati's _internal_ agpgart
instead of the kernel's.
