I haven't seen it! Thanks for the hint! :) So i'm just following the steps and here's a question: ### from the page: > 2.

what about XFree 4.3. ? The same?
The kernel's DRM only works for xfree 4.2 and lower. Therefore, you cannot enable DRM in the kernel with xfree 4.3. When you emerge xfree-drm, it provides an updated DRM that works with xfree 4.3.
I see, ok. Now i booted my new kernel with DRM, radeon-4.1 off and agpgart as module. Got a problem loading module agpgart:
groovesurfer gsu # dmesg | grep drm
[drm] Initialized tdfx 1.0.0 20010216 on minor 0

agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M

agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe0000000
agpgart: unable to get minor: 175 {nid 296}Haven't googled yet. Will do after breakfast and post again.
Have a nice day, Florian
