We would like to try but we need to the code first to disable the onboard AGP and enable the external AGP before X11 drivers can see the card as I guess you can only have one AGP slot in the system at one time. I guess we need Ollie or someone from sis to tell us what register we need to program to disable the onboard and enable the external AGP bus in the 730 chipset.
If we get this working we will us LinuxBIOS in our entertainment project which would be a plus for us both. Any Help Please.
