Hi folks,
I hope here are some gamers who can help me.
I recently installed Savage Battle of Newerth, but it won't start. I get the error message:
Couldn't allocate AGPMemory. Make sure you have agpgart or some similar AGP driver support in your kernel.
I run Mandrake 10CE with kernel 2.6.3-4mdk. So I think I have everything right configured in my XF86Config-4, because glxgears gives me 1534 fp/s and glxinfo|grep rendering says direct rendering.
However if I attached my XF86Config-4 at the end of my mail. morprobe agpart works fine and lsmod|grep agp says: intel-agp 17372 1 agpgart 31016 2 intel-agp
My system is a hp pavilion zt3000 with a 64mb radeon 9200 mobility card. I don't use the ati driver only the XFree driver for my card (as you can see in my XF86Config-4).
Any ideas?
I found a hint in a fedora mailinglist which doesn't work for me. But maybe it says something to you.

Thanks, fengler
Hi I found this in the fedora list,

Savage's problem is that reports "Couldn't allocate AGP Memory: make sure you have agpgart driver in your kernel". I have tested with both NVIDIA's AGP driver and kernel's AGPGART module, but neither work (yet). I can enter the game and all is well except fps is terrible (around 5-10). [\quote]
So my question is now:
my installed kernel has agpgart as a module, right? So I have to compile my own kernel? If I do that, I generally want to keep all settings from Mandrake's configuration and change only for module agpgart from module to compile into kernel. Is that possible and is the configfile for the Mandrake 2.6 Kernel on the CDs?
I am a little bit afraid of doing that.
Thanx, fengler
I'd be happy to help if you've never compiled your own kernel before.
