nForce AGP

[pergamon]

Have anyone managed to activate the AGP on a nForce mb?

with nvagp I get:
[/proc/driver/nvidia/agp]$ cat status
Status: Disabled

and agpgart will not even load. "device not found".
Have tried with the agp_try_unsupported=1 but it does not succed either.

AGPGART doesn't support the nForce AGP bus. You'll need to use the NVIDIA AGP driver. Put the line

Option "NvAgp" "1"

in your XF86Config[-4] file in your Device section. Please note that if you have AGPGART compiled into your kernel, you'll have to recompile it out as a module.

I've tried both with nvidias agp and with agpgart. - no change. Have had agpgart compiled into the kernel, as a module and totally without. - no change.

Have read somewhere (think it was here in the forums) that it could be the bridge that isn't recogniced
and therefore unable to handle
the agp. Checked the startup logs and found from dmesg:

Unknown bridge resource 2: assuming transparent
Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent

Not been able to get it working though.

Are you referring to PCI ids being unregognized by the kernel? No, that's not the problem.

Are you sure you have your AGP bus enabled in your SBIOS?

Can you post your /var/log/XFree86.0.log after a run with NVAGP enabled?

What specific nForce board do you have?

Thanks!

Have checked BIOS earlier and didn't find any setting for enabling AGP there. (checked now again just to be sure but didn't find any option)..

Motherboard: Asus A7N266-E
Linux: Slackware 8.1
kernel: 2.4.19 with agpgart not even as a module.
