Boy, and I thought my VooDoo 5500 was a pain to config in LM 8.0 for 3D accel. I only wasted 2 days on the VooDoo to get it working - 6 days and counting for my Matrox G450 so far (2nd machine btw). I've read all of the threads on the Matrox forum pages, and no one else seems to have encountered the same problem I have - hence my post to this list :-) Here's the scoop ... Gears loads, and seems to work fine - fps rates are much higher than my VooDoo 5500. However, the mga, and agpgart modules refuse to load regardless of what changes I make to my BIOS, cards in or out of my system, or LM config. Of course w/o these modules 3D accel is non existant. The error messages I am receiving are ... # insmod mga Using /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mga.o.gz lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mga.o.gz: init_module: Cannot allocate memory Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters # insmod agpgart Using /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o.gz /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o.gz: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters Has anybody else seen these errors, and solved them? Any guidance would be much appreciated.
