At last - a Cooker kernel patched for agpgart!
For all you cookers out there with Matrox AGP cards, this is what I would
do:
1. Uninstall all your cooker Mesa rpms, except the demos (the latest ones
require glide, which is no use for a Matrox owner)
2. Point your browser at http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net and download
glxMesa-20000328-1.i586.rpm and the gart module README
3. Get kernel-source-2.2.17-0.9mdk.i586.rpm from Cooker, together with
-headers, -doc and -utils
4. Use XFree86-3.3.6-16mdk.i586.rpm - 4.0 is no use
5. Install glxMesa
4. Build kernel, enabling AGP support with the appropriate chipset under
"Character devices"
5. `mknod /dev/agpgart c 10 175` to make /dev/agpgart
6. Add this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, to load agpgart at start-up:
# load 3DFX module
action "Loading AGPGART module" insmod agpgart
7. Add this to your XF86Config:
Section "Module"
# This loads the 3DFX module
Load "glx.so"
EndSection
8. Reboot, with fingers crossed.
I did this and most of the Mesa demos work (200+ frames per second with
gears) - see attached GLtest. I don't do Quake, but it's reported to work.
