Code:

agpgart                45092   1

this is what i get ,i think im missing a module

egag · 04-14-2005, 06:00 PM

yip, i've got :
-------------
via_agp 7552 1
agpgart 28648 2 drm,via_agp
-------------

i have a via-chipset on the mobo so i need via-agp.
it's named after the chipset.

look at " modprobe -l |grep agp " to see if the module exists.
if so , log out of x, do a modprobe <modukename> and startx again.
else, compile the module.

i get

agpgart 45092 1

but my chipset is sis so i need the sis_agp

how to get it ? my kernel is the default that comes with 10.1 so everything is checked

lsmod |grep sis

sis900 12780 1
crc32 2880 0 [sis900]

just compile your own kernel, and compile in (not as module) the DRI and agpgart stuff

just take that standard kernel, and go into its config, and just mark the right DRI and agpgart stuff.

egag · 04-14-2005, 06:36 PM

ah...you have a 2.4 kernel, i use 2.6.
that sis module comes from the drm directory, so i guess that's the one.

i have no 2.4 sources here, so i cannot check if there are more modules needed.

you could install the kernel sources ( if you haven't already: look in /usr/src )
then cd to /usr/src/linux-2.4.29

become root ( su )

copy the config file ( cp /boot/config-2.4.29-ide .config )

then run " make xconfig " and look under " character devices " if there's more you need .

apart from that no EE or WW exist

hmm...did you compile agpgart into the kernel ?
i always keep the agp drivers modular.

and the fisrt (WW) is telling you there is no device section for your tv-out.
thats normal, if you only use the monitor.

the second (WW) tells you that memory allocation failed for some reason.
you could check the messages file with :

" tail -n 200 /var/log/packages "
that will give you the last 200 lines of the file.
or type " dmesg ".
look for errors regarding agp.

egag, he still hasn't added

Code:

Section "dri"
    Modes 0666
EndSection

--Shade

egag · 06-02-2005, 05:16 AM

good one,

...but is " Modes " ok ? i have " Mode " .
( maybe both are ok... )
anyway, the section dri should be added at the end of the xorg.conf file.
then restart X and hope the best...

Sorry, 'mode' is correct. Modes may work as well, but mine does indeed read singular.
