Yes, agpgart support for G33 is required for X to work with better than VESA. I put a bit of code in for dealing with it (disabled by default), but G33's stolen memory handling is a bit different, so it'll take some debugging with the hardware to support it. --=20 Eric Anholt anholt@FreeBSD.org eric@anholt.net eric.anholt@intel.com --=-fPn+wD/aKWgPxyB8VnyG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHARmrHUdvYGzw6vcRAnAjAKCJ5CtLM/UKIl7wFXeWeNTRFcV9xwCfQrTs ppu94gCROnuLAVfH9lNaaNw= =b+Ly -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-fPn+wD/aKWgPxyB8VnyG--
