We don't need no stinkin .sig. > Whoops. agpgart support can be built into a kernel by adding device agp to your kernel configuration file and recompiling. Alternatively, you can use the loadable kernel module, with kldload /modules/agp.ko from your favorite shell as root. Make sure you add Option "NoDDC" to the "Device" section of XF86Config or you will hose your display. Also, be sure you have a recent version of the XFRee86 port, which has my patch to make the i810 switch VTs without crashing. Check to make sure you have the patch in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4/files/patch-i810, then build the port with make install from /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@usrlib.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
