(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? -- farooq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
