Perhaps a value of 0 can disable AGP altogether if thats the way the driver parses it. But "true" is a senseless value. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I configured a voodoo3 2000 PCI card using XFree86-4.2.1 (mandrake-9.0) with 3D acceleration.

XFdrake is putting AGPMode when putting DRI.
I really don't know what's it for. There is a comment in the code:
# always enable (as a reminder for people using a better AGP mode to change it at
their own risk).
$card->{Options_xfree4}{AGPMode} = 'true';
someone knows better?

The installer configured correctly my AGP card (an Ati Radeon M7) but added the option "AGPMode" "true" to the XF86Config-4 file. This made X startup extremely slow. After investigating the logs and the XF86 docs i've discovered that the option "AGPMode" takes an integer value of either "1", "2", or "4" (the higher the number better the performance, but it also may cause instability with some motherboards) This has solved my problem.
