I have posted some other threads about getting my agp port to work on the K8T800; so far I haven't had it operating properly. Actually not it all. I had just read that the K8T800 north bridge was a close relative of the the K8T400M. I was wondering if there was a way, or an actual command that would allow me to build the agpgart module to act as the K8T400M. I am hoping that this will allow the agp port to be active. I have tried in 64bit mode (mandrake 9.2 AMD64) and in 32bit mode with " agp_try_unsupported=1 " and so far i have no agp support with either 64/32 OS's. HELP!
Please :-(

check if you had compile (M) as /dev/agpgart support.

Do you mean when i compile the Kernel....like "make menuconfig" and make sure i have included agpgart as a module???

If so, yes, i've done that - agpgart and with the AMD64 agp "on-core" support. Neither work. Nothing works. I guess i have to wait till my chipset is supported in the agpgart module.

Sigh :-(

Side note: I also tried with the 2.6-test9 kernel....nothing.

but what's the error you been getting from either dmesg or others?

I'm not getting any errors, only when i check "cat /proc/nvidia/agp" do i see that the agp is disabled. I can't enable it...i tried. The agpgart module in either 2.4 or 2.6 doesn't support the K8T800 North Bridge (even when i build them myself). Which brings me to the original question : i was wondering if i could build the module to think it's a K8T400M. As that chipset is supported and the K8T800 is a very, very close relative.

Sorry, i don't really know about nVidia's video card driver. but there might be some tweak that you need to do with that driver just like ATI's which i am using right now. SO, i might want to contact nVidia's pro.

you might want to get back to kernel-2.4.22 which was a stable version.
I can't even get kernel-2.4.26-test9 to work on my computer.

What a miracle!!!!!! Test version sucksssssssss

The 2.4.22 kernel is the one that I have been using. The agpgart module isn't supported in that kernel. Nor is it supported in the 2.6 kernel. It's not a Nvidia video card problem - i can use it fine on my other mobo with agp (Asus A7S333) - it's an agp port problem on my current board. Again....the K8T800 North Bridge is not supported. Which brings me full circle back to what I wrote at the start of this thread. Is there a tweak or work around in order to get my agp port to act as the K8T400M? My emails to Nvidia, Asus and VIA have been unanswered.

**Edit - I can use the videocard in all versions of linux with Nvidia's OpenGL. But there isn't any AGP support. It's disabled. When i try and set Option "NvAGP" "3" under the device section in XF86Config-4 the agpgart module won't even allow me log on the x-server. So i have to set it to "1" to even get into the X-server with PCI OpenGL. No AGP.

Here is my output from dmesg :

0: NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!!

I see what the problem is.
From the last line. it shows that you had already load AGPGART before NvAGP and that's why it's not working out.
So, trying boot in 3 mode or text mode. then type "modprobe -e agpgart", then "modprobe NvAGP". then startx. see how it goes.

I see what you are saying, but that was in the 64bit version where it does support the on-cpu agpgart. If i install the basic Mandrake 9.2 32bit version, i will not get any agpgart support period. So i have build a 2.6 kernel, which does support it. But right now i'm going through hell with that too. All i want is for my agp port to work so i can play some vids(32bit ones anyways).

WEll, what you need to do was right after linux bootup.
Press Ctrl-Alt-F1. then login as root.
After you login as root.
do
$modprobe -e agpgart
$modprobe -e <the NvGart or the one you are trying to load>"
$startx

Start a game and see how it works.
Just curious, what you get when you run "glxgears"??
