nforce chipset

bm1 · 04-14-2004, 03:45 AM

my motherboard is a GA-7N400 Pro2 and the chipset is a NVIDIA nForce2. i also have a ati 9600pro, ive been doing heaps of reading and what im getting is that to get the ati cards to work with the nforce chipset using 3daccel i have to to some stuff with the kerrnel(enable agpgart)? im using slack9.1 is this still an issue? thanks

ive just done some more reading. excuse me if im wrong. the slack 9.1 kernal is 2.4.22 and doesnt support 8x agp but the 2.6 kernal does. then my question is if i update the kernal to 2.6 i will then be able to use the 8x capability? then do i still have to do the module for the nforce chip?
