nvidia agp problems
whilst trying to install and use the latest nvidia drivers i have hit quite a few problems, but however hard i search i can't find a response relevant to my problem.
details: mandrake 9.1 (2.4.21-0.13mdk) nvidia geforce4 ti4200 64mb (not 8x agp) with the new nvidia driver installed... in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file... (using Driver “nvidia”) (there are no references to dri or glcore) (Load “glx” exists) - using Option "NvAGP" "0" the nvidia logo is displayed and the x server loads up without agp support as expected. - using Option "NvAGP" "1" (without the agpgart module loaded) the x server will not load and the system will hang on a black screen and require a reboot, leaving the following at the bottom of the XFree86.0.log... (II) NVIDIA(0): AGP 4X successfully initialized (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768" - using Option "NvAGP" "1" (with 'insmod agpgart' done before 'startx') the nvidia logo is displayed and the x server loads up. but /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status contains just 'Status: Disabled' and this is left in Xfree86.0.log... (WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to verify AGP usage (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768" (II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture - using Option "NvAGP" "2" (with OR without the agpgart module loaded) x server will not load and the system hangs on a black screen. in Xfree86.0.log (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NvAGP" "2" (**) NVIDIA(0): Use of AGPGART requested and at the bottom (II) NVIDIA(0): AGP 4X successfully initialized (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768" to be honest i don't know where to go from here, obviously there's an agp problem and i would greatly appreciate any feedback/response. i've only been using linux a few days so assume i don't know much :p thanks for your time :) |
no you don't have an agp problem....just leave nvagp at 0, or don't even type it in your config if you don't want to and enjoy your 3d capabilities...thats it...
