That's not a bug in X, me thinks.
I'm guessing, that you haven't loaded your chipset specific agp module,
which in your case would be 'intel-agp'
Starting with 2.6, there's a generic agpgart module, and several *-agp
modules for different AGP chips. YOu need to load both, before starting the
Xserver.
So it seems. Thanks!
But, this still leaves some problems:
- The error message is not correct for linux-2.6. It's giving a very
specific diagnosis of the problem that isn't correct under 2.6 (or
probably, under other kernels).
- The X configuarion program sets up agpgart to be loaded, but when I
rerun it it doesn't set up intel-agp to be loaded.
would you send the errors you are referring to, back to this bugreport.
I have no idea of what error messages you're talking about...
I mean the error messages from my original report. They say "make sure
your kernel is using the agpgart module", when in fact the kernel is
using this module and the problem is that's not enough. A better
message might be something like "make sure your kernel is using the
agpgart module. Under kernel 2.6 and higher, you'll need to use a
chipset-specific AGP module as well." This would have been sufficient
for me to find and fix the problem on my own.
Also, now X will start but the mouse doesn't work. I have no idea why
this would be, and can't give any useful diagnostic information.
okay, send the whole xfree86.log to this bug.
I figured this one out: I needed to modprobe the psmouse kernel module.
Apparently this is another linux-2.6 change. But since this module
wasn't available, X would start normally and the mouse just wouldn't
work. I'm not sure what X can really do about this.
If you need more, I can get you a full log with either of the above
problems. But I'll have to reconfigure my system to be broken again to
do it...
