/dev/agpgart listed as not functioning.


I have installed Slackware 8.0 on a Dell with the I810 video card, and even though I have installed the agpart and i810 into the kernel, it says that it is not functioning. Also, if I compile it as a module, it says that it is not available. I have also installed X and kernel from the 8.1 CD. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

you might need to add it to the /dev/ directory (I've had to do this every time I've made an lfs for some reason) try this:

mknod /dev/agpgart c 10 175

and then try starting x again

good luck

from the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt, you can find that for agpgart, it's a character device, major number 10, minor number 175..... that's where the above command came from

Alright, that didn't work. The only other error is that it's saying that there are screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Did you have a look at the i810 with XFree86 4.x HOWTO?
