LinuxQuestions.org - Problems with riva driver (Frame Buffer)?

Still have something with me?
I know that cs-cam!
I'm just taking it step by step! Do you know that the nvidia closed source agpgart driver has limited support, it only works on some chipsets? Check the docs: /usr/share/doc/nv-*/README.gz
It has support for my chipset, but I never tried that since the linux agpgart worked good for me. Also for bobs benfit you can select wich one the nvidia driver uses with the "NvAGP" option in xorg.conf (or XF-Config*), just be sure to have agpgart(the kernel one) and the' chipset'-agp built as modules and don't load them! let X(or better said nvidia) decide. Just to help people out here's mine:

Would you happen to know anything about MTRR? I have a problem with the address range getting all reserved at boot, but I guess you know that since you might have searched for threads i answered so you can come and correct me! :p
