Quoting Kirk Strauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
On my 5.3 system (recompiled completely, including ports, one week ago), the NVidia driver (for a GeForce MX 400) from ports doesn't seem to be using AGP:
$ sysctl hw.nvidia.agp.status.status hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: disabled
I've built a new kernel with "device agp" commented out, and kldstat verifies that it's not loaded. I set 'Option "NvAGP" "1"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I've read all of the READMEs that seemed relevant. Still, I seem to be running in PCI mode and display updates are painfully slow and CPU-intensive.
I'm running out of things to check. Any idea what combination of settings would result in a system where the display seems to run correctly, but is much slower than expected? -- Kirk Strauser
I'm actually having this same problem on 2 different computers... with nVidia's
AGP or FreeBSD's AGP... it doesn't matter which I try to use.
One of the computers I'm having this problem with is a P4 with an Intel chipset
(I forget which) with a GeForce4 MX 440. The other is an athlon 64 3200+ with a
via k8t800 chipset and a geforce FX 5900 (running in 32 bit x86 FreeBSD).
I can't get either of these to run with AGP.
