Where do I get the nvidia-agp module?? In the official nvidia linux driver?

I beleive nVidia has it on their site, Right here.

In resonse to the new ATI Linux drivers:

Yeah, they would be stupid to not release new drivers since they are coming out with the X800 series.

A question about that 'X' in X800...usually an X means 'fill in the blank', so I'm wondering if they are going for an anything goes kind of series? Personally I think that they should've gone with a name besides 'Radeon', because they have used that for a very long time (Radeon 7000 anyone? ).

Yet, the X may stand for the X in PCI-X! OOO I think I answered my own question! IMO, That only seems logical. I'll research this.

i am pretty sure that name X800 is unofficial

the chipsets are R420 (agp) and R423 (pci-x)

Thanks a lot!!

It worked with several modifications!!!

This is a repost: *** Does anybody watch TV w/ AIW Radeon 9800 Pro? ***


Just curious, I was unable to make it work, here are the details:

Video: ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb
Drivers: ATI Technologies Inc. (X4.3.0-3.2.8)
Kernel: 2.4.21-202-athlon

I don't have an AIW, so I wouldn't know.

Hi, I've read through this post and it seems to be chocked full of great information but I'm having trouble getting my 9200 256mb PCI card to work.

After installing the rpm it gives me this message:

It looks like I need to do the ./make.sh to build the custom kernel module.

So I went there and ran the make.sh. There are a ton of warnings about EISA being redefined
but I don't have EISA so that should be fine right?

You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx

So I go back to /lib/modules/fglrx and run make_install.sh. This is where I run into a problem.

I'm not entirely sure what needs to be done now. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Reagger.

I have the same problem as well. How do we get the ATI driver to work? I have installed it, patched it, and everything else that I can find about this problem. Still no luck.

i've installed the driver on MDk 9.1 2.4.21-0.30mdk and i can't start X it says that the apggart cannot start, any suggestion?

cya

I tried this...but my attempts failed after I ran ./make.sh and I got the following error:
linux:/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod # ./make.sh
bash: ./make.sh: Permission denied

Permission denied? How dare they? Yes, I am logged in as root! I have no clue where to go from here! Someone, please help this

What he said! Same deal. x_X

In order to run a .sh script, you need to put sh before it first. You can't just type ./make.sh in most cases.
Try this:

# sh make.sh

setlec_seta: make sure your chipset is supported by the driver. And if you have a board with a VT400 chipset, you may have to apply a patch. I get best results if I tell it to not use the external agpgart, but try both. Also, try

# modprobe agpgart

to attempt and load it (I think). I'm kind of new at this too

And, for all of you who seem to get Mesa Indirect GL when you're done, try rebuilding the module from the build_mod directory... :

2.6 kernel (and for the 2.4 kernel, just replace 2.6.x with 2.4.x and fglrx.ko with fglrx.o I assume):

# ls /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x

Look for a fglrx.ko file. If you don't see one, build the module:

# cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
# sh make.sh
# cd ..
# sh make_install.sh

# ls /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x

If you have a module there, the chances of it working are pretty good.
Now, run fglrxconfig, only if you haven't already...
And finally, what you've all been waiting for:

# startx
# fglrxinfo

If you're having further trouble, post your lsmod output, and any errors reported by the fglrx module building script.

Rhythmatic: I believe the X in X800 means 10, as in the roman numeral. X comes after 9 I guess. There's going to be an X800 AGP edition and a PCI express edition as far as I know.

I spent ages getting the fglrx drivers working with my 9200. OpenGL and dual head (via tvout). In the end there were two problems with my setup:
-- old nvidia drivers were still installed.
-- had vga=extended in lilo.conf

To have 100% 3d acceleration try this :

Good luck!
