ALI 1541,K6,AGP 2.4.3-ac12 instability

Hello,

When I enable AGP on my ALI system 2D seems to work fine but 3D causes kernel oops messages. (Ran through ksymoops) It looks like it could be an NVidia driver problem, but I doubt it as I run this with AGP at work with no problems. I'm wondering if anyone else has AGP working with the (new?) ALI AGP code.

Linux 2.4.3-ac12
NVidia 0.9-769 drivers
XFree86-4.0.3
Ali 1541
TNT2 rev 11 SGRAM 32MB
(Recompiled the NVidia drivers to only use 1x AGP, and no ssb, and that didn't help. Also compiled in NVidia AGP code but this code didn't seem to understand what an ALI 1541 was and disabled AGP.)

Will test patches to help make this work if it is an ALI/Linux problem.

Thanks.

Wrong mailing list. Take it up with nvidia.

Nvidia doesnt use the kernel AGP code either

This is an NVidia driver problem having to do with problems using agpgart with their latest drivers on 2.4. I'm sure someone on the NVidia irc channel or their mailing list can help you.
