Hi hackers@,

What is the status of the /dev/agpgart device? (I'm running 4.3-STABLE
with a recent cvsup).  Is it working, perhaps using a compatible
interface with the linux device the of the same name (I can dream
can't I ;-) ?  I ask because I recently tried compiling Utah-GLX with
AGP acceleration support, and it requires a /dev/agpgart device, but
the testgart program errors out when it tries to ioctl the agpgart
device.

The Utah-GLX website all provides a tarball
(http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/gart/agpgart-freebsd-20000619.tar.gz)
which includes a FreeBSD agpgart driver (as a KLD), but it fails to
compile.  I believe it was for the FreeBSD 3.x series, and has tons of
compile errors.  The documentation for the driver also states the as
part of the installation, a /dev/agpgart must be built, yet I already
had a /dev/agpgart device.  This leads me to believe this driver is a
bit antiquated.

Any ideas?
