Hey,
First up thankyou Andy for your dedication, you are a credit to Nvidia and the Nvidia Linux community.
Just a quick question: When will the official drivers support AGP 3.0 and the KT400 chipset?
The 2.4 kernel's AGPGART doesn't support it, and the 2.5 kernel's AGPGART (claiming to support AGP 3.0/KT400) so far causes the same crashes as the Nvidia drivers' AGP support.
I have a TI4800SE on a KT400 based board, and can't use the Nvidia drivers. The screen garbles and the machine locks hard right after initialising AGP 8X (the log proudly displays this right before it terminates). The motherboard's BIOS locks the AGP at 8X and forcing the AGP rate while insmod-ing doesn't help. Going by forums, it appears to be a common issue.
I was hoping the new 4349 release would address this problem, but it hasn't, so now it's time to let you know those of us with newer chipsets would love to use our Nvidia cards with the accelerated Nvidia drivers under Linux. I'm sure it says in the geek's bible somewhere that 'geeks cannot live on 2D alone'.
Oh, great installer btw :)
