"Fast Writes" not supported ???
Hello,
My /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card info says Fast Writes: Not Supported SBA: Not Supported AGP Rates: 4x 2x 1x Registers: 0x1f000007:0x1f000104 So, does the nvidia driver not support 'Fast writes' or the card? According to the manufacturer my Gforce 3 Ti200 does support "fast writes". Either the nvidia driver is lying or the manufacturer of the card. /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge says Host Bridge: Intel i845 Fast Writes: Supported SBA: Supported AGP Rates: 4x 2x 1x Registers: 0x1f000217:0x00000104 And what the heck is SBA? A special addressing mode perhaps? Thanks for answers! |

FW (fast writes) and SBA (sideband-addressing) are two AGP features. Both features are frequently disabled on both Windows and Linux because of instability. Theoraticly all motherboards and videocards support it but it most of the time isn't stable.
