I know that lately the AGP/Radeon/DRI subject has been beaten to death over the last few days, and I hate to stir the fire, but I think I may be encountering a different problem here.
Sytem detail: The system is a cooker, current as of about 2000Z on 30 Jan. 2002. ((Kernel is 2.4.17-12mdk*)) Hardware is Iwill DVD266-R motherboard (Via Apollo-Pro 266 DDR chipset: VIA VT8633 [northbridge) + VIA VT8233 [southbridge] The mainboard also has onboard sound (CMI 8738) which works nicely, and AMI ID RAID chip (AMI MG80649, aka CMD 649) which also works nicely as IDE controller that the system resides on. Video is ATI Radeon 64MB ViVo. I also use BT-484 TV card, and 3Com network card wich both run just fine. In fact, everything works except I cannot load the agpgart module. I have tried with SMP, UP and Enterprise kernel, and several previous cooker editions all the way back to 8.1. I get the following: [root@localhost chas]# modprobe agpgart /lib/modules/2.4.17-12mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o.gz: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.17-12mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod agpgart failed I have made attempts both with and without devfs, I have manually created the /dev/agpgart device with: [root@localhost chas]# mknod -m 660 agpgart c 10 379 and I manually added the alias to the modules.conf file: [root@localhost chas]# echo alias char-major-226 agpgart >> /etc/modules.conf All to no avail. I have looked through the kernel configuration, and I don't see the ddr version of the Via Apollo Pro chipset mentioned, but I have not delved too deeply into the agpgart code itself for fear of getting lost (I mostly speak ForTran, feel free to pelt with Oranges...) However, I suspect that support for the particular chipset is at fault on account of agpgart module complaining about "init_module: No such device" If there is particular action I can take to help chase down the problem, give me instruction and I will do what I can. -- *Chuck* "Ah, heck!
