AGPGART operation isn't a performance critical thing, as the hardware does 99% of the work. Yes, that was also my opinion, but after using AGPGART, hmm. And it was on my last 32 bit FC2 systems with other hardware the same slow operations on the desktop. And I'm not alone, there are some nvnews.net linux forum users which report the same slow performance with AGPGART. Maybe the linux kernel AGPGART do not run well with the nVidia 2D acceleration renderer or the kernel driver and is a nvidia problem. http://www.marcush.de/Xorg.0.log Greetings, Marcus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Dave Jones wrote: probably you have selected IOMMU, which is dependant on it. Yes, thanks. Sorry my fault. I had it not deactivated, arggg. This surprises me, especially considering the in-kernel nvidia-agp driver was actually written by NVidia. Are there any agp error messages in your dmesg / X log ? No warnings/errors in both logs. All clean. But switching/maximizing between tasks like firefox, thunderbird or a gnome-terminal is so slow, that you can see it how firefox/GTK+ theme is writing the GUI and the fonts slowly back. Minimizing is no more fun, like a fast slide-show. And that on a fast amd64 3200 with 1 GB RAM and a FX 5900XT. :( With the nVidia own nv_agp it appears directly in all apps, very fast under GNOME 2.8.1. Why, I do not know. Also game (opengl) performance is faster with the nv_agp, that I haven't used the kernel agp for months, now.

How to disable slow agpgart in kernel config?
Hello, the agpgart backend is now always compiled in and selected with 2.6.11-rc3 x86_64. I can delete or disable it in the config, it is always back written. Is this the default future behaviour? The eg Nforce3 AGP is on a normal desktop so slow on 2D and also in 3D mode a lot slower and all nvidia kernel driver users can not more use the really faster nv_agp.

2.6.11-rcX / 2.6.10-ac9 kernel do not more boot SATA disk on amd64
Hello, I can not more boot any kernel >=2.6.11-rcX also >=2.6.10-ac9 and latest bk6. But I have here Alan Cox 2.6.10-ac8 and Cons 2.6.10-ck5 running and booting fine without any problems. But now all kernel versions after that failed (with the same config tried) with: mount: error 6 mounting ext3 ... umount /initrd/dev failed ... on my Fedora Core 3 x86_64. The Fedora devel kernel also failed booting (2.6.11-rcX-bkX included and badly the SCSI support and all other as modules configured, what a shame... ;) . I've tried compiling all needed drivers like libata, sata_nv, SCSI support, ext3 (my root / fs),... in the kernel and also the most as always as modules with an initrd. With and wo "noapic", direct device names to grub given and always no chance to get all at the top named kernel to boot. What was there changed in this time? Or can anybody tell me, what I'm doing here wrong? :-( Hardware: nForce3 250Gb MSI K8N Neo Mainboard, Samsung SATA 80GB disk, / fs on ext3, x86_64 kernel/Fedora and gcc 3.4.3. config: http://www.marcush.de/config-2.6.11-rc3 Greetings, Marcus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
