It is located at http://people.freebsd.org/~rnoland/agp_i810-g33-g45.patch I need testers with g33 and g45 series chips. robert. Tested on 7.1 from today, previously this did not detect but now it does: vgapci0: port 0xef98-0xef9f mem 0xf6c00000-0xf6ffffff,0xe0000000-0xefffffff irq 16 at device 2.0 on pci0 agp0: on vgapci0 agp0: detected 32252k stolen memory agp0: aperture size is 256M agp0: AGP_I810_PGTBL_CTL: 00000001 agp0: AGP_I855_GCC1: 0x50 agp0: AGP_I915_MSAC: 0x00 agp0: Aperture resource size: 268435456 bytes Thanks! A few times I've seen X lock up and exit (I don't have the error handy) but it has only been when I was using fluxbox. I'm currently using twm while gnome compiles but I kindof assume that problem has more to do with the intel video driver rather than agp?
