Hello everyone,

I have recently compiled :
   - kernel 2.4.4 with AGPgart support,
   - Xfree 4.0.2 with the nv driver.

I have a videocard embeding a RIVA128 chip, and a motherboard with a Via
MVP3 AGP chipset.

The AGPgart module detects correctly the VIA chipset a boot time, and
everything works fine under X. But :
i recently took a look at the Xfree log file, and saw that my card is
detected as a PCI card... which is false. My question is the following :
do you provide a true AGP support for the nv driver or is it managed
with some kind of an AGP to PCI bridge?
In the later case, where can i find AGP driver for the riva 128?
I visited NVIDIA web site : they provide AGP drivers for all their chips
BUT the riva 128 and riva128 ZX, and refer to you as the provider for
these drivers.

I also have a grabber board, for watching tv. And i can't have
fullscreen because the data transfers between the grabber board and the
video board seem to be too slow (when i switch from 24bpp to 16bpp it
works fine)? Can it be due to the fact that the video board is handled
through the PCI bus instead of the AGP one.

I would like to do sofware decoding and DVD playing under Linux, and i
am afraid to have a bottleneck at the video driver level...

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance,

Regards, Sebastien.
