Hi,
please Cc: mmagallo@debian.org, I'm not subscribed to the list.
Attached is a small backport from 2.6 to 2.4 to add support for Intel's 7205 and 7505 chipsets. The patch has been tested and works using NVIDIA's binary-only drivers with a GeForce 4200 in AGP 8x mode. We haven't been able to get a Radeon card to work yet. The last version of the kernel that I've used for testing is 2.4.22-pre6-ac1.
The machine where this has been tested has 4 GB of RAM installed and the kernel sets up, right after booting, 8 MTRR regions leaving none for the AGP aperture or the graphics card memory. In that situation the NVIDIA driver fails to set up AGP properly and disables it altogether. The last two regions look like this:
reg06: base=0x400000000 (16384MB), size=16384MB: write-back, count=1 reg07: base=0x800000000 (32768MB), size=32768MB: write-back, count=1
by disabling them and then starting the X server everything works fine.
Cheers,
