Can you elaborate? At the time when you filed the report above, Option "AGPMode" defaulted to "1"/"4" and Option "AGPFastWrite" defaulted to "off", regardless of the xf86-video-ati branch. > Now I understand what does it mean.

If you're using the xf86-video-ati master branch, Option "AGPMode" defaults to the value set up by firmware instead of the traditional default "1"/"4", because there are some systems where the former works but not the latter. Maybe it's the other way around for your system... If so, can you check the AGP settings in the BIOS setup? There was also a relatively short period of time when the master branch defaulted to leave AGP fast writes enabled if firmware enabled them, but Dave reverted that. > Are default values safe? That's the idea, but it's not always clear which values are 'safe', see above. > Are they set intentionally or randomly (.i.e. not initialized at all)? The former, or it's a bug. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
