Hello Leann:
Thank you for your information. After checked the source, the AGP
module has been in kernel 2.6.26. I'll check the DRM module later.
Thanks and Best Regards
Bruce C. Chang

3DEngines
Hi Bruce,
Care to test the latest Alpha for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10
release - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing ? The reason I ask is because
it looks like this patch is already included:
commit dcd981a77b2b35d169656d4b9cee208096ed7ccf
Author: Greg KH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Thu Jun 19 09:52:26 2008 +1000
agp/via: fixup pci ids
add a new PCI ID and remove an old dodgy one, include the
explaination
in the commented code so nobody readds later.
(davej also sent the pci id addition).
