LinuxQuestions.org - ati radeon 9600

Hello

I am trying to install my radeon 9600. I have an athlon-xp 3200 and a A7N8X-X motherboard.

I am using kernel 2.6.9 (have also tried 2.6.8.1)

I have tried agpgart compiled internally and as modules. At the moment I have modules loaded.

lsmod shows:

Code:

[root@shmonkey marc]# lsmod

Module                  Size  Used by

fglrx                230108  0

nvidia_agp              6300  1

agpgart                29036  1 nvidia_agp

The problem I get is shown with dmesg

Code:

agpgart: Detected NVIDIA nForce2 chipset

agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M

agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xb0000000

[fglrx] AGP detected, AgpState  = 0x00000000 (hardware caps of chipset)

[fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* Process 1200 using kernel context 0

I have seen from google that this is a common problem, however I have no idea what this error message means - all I know is the the process is X.

What does 'using kernel context 0' mean ????????????
