Thanks for the info Jonathan, I too have 815, but on my new Viao
FX290. I've seen conflicting instructions for getting it working.
Specifically, I saw on the XFree86 mailing lists, that the agpgart.ko
module was needed, but it is only in -CURRENT. I have the source for
it, but haven't been able to figure out how to compile it in.
Rob.
