Well, more that it should mean no more panicing if you set your AGP aperture to 256 MB in your BIOS and then start up X11. I need to verify that I can now do this before I MFC this to 6.x. We are limited to an aperture of 128 MB at work right now because we run out of KVA when starting X with the aperture set to 256. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
