RH8 + GeForce 4 MX 440 AGP8 is now working

[bj0320]

Just want to share you, it might help you also.
Eventually, I made it work fine. But only in 4x AGP mode.
If you are suffering the same problem I had before.
Try this - (Detail is included in README)


edit os-registry.c, and make the following changes:

- static int NVreg_ReqAGPRate = 7;
+ static int NVreg_ReqAGPRate = 4; /* force AGP Rate to 4x */

and then remove the two leading underscores:

- { "__ReqAGPRate", &NVreg_ReqAGPRate },
+ { "ReqAGPRate", &NVreg_ReqAGPRate },

Then recompile and load the new kernel module.

And with following option in XFree86Config,

Option "NvAgp" "2"

Coool - thank you, it worked for me in RHL9 .

Distribution: RH9
GPU: GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x
MB: Via KT4V (chipset KT400 AGP 8x)

Before adding that options I always ended with hangup computer and this message was in XFree.log:
(II) NVIDIA(0): AGP 8X successfully initialized
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768,1024x768"

Now it works - at least sometimes :) :(
