hey all, just did a grep of my gl settings and noticed that it is running agp at 1x instead of what usualy had always been 4x on other OS's. I am using Slackware 10 with the default 2.4 kernel for the time being. I have an ATI Radeon 7500 64mb card on a Asus A7N8X board with the nforce2 chipset.
Is this something that I have to edit in my xorg.conf or do I need a driver of some kind? Not sure where to start. I did a search in LQ but couldnt find anything regarding this same issue.

THanks>

P.S.
here is my #glxinfo | grep -e "renderer" output:

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20030328 AGP 1x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL

I'm not sure that that 1x refers to the speed of your AGP because when I run the same command I don't even get a reference to AGP speed. If I do:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
It tells me it's running at 4x...I know you're using an ATI card, but is there a similar file you can read to find your speed? Perhaps:
cat /proc/driver/ati/agp/status
or similar, maybe using dri instead of ati?

didnt work there. Tried with both ati and dri and got a no such file or directory

i guess i will recompile to a newer kernel and explore my options from there
