Help with SiS 648 chipset and agpgart
Hi,
I need to get agpgart to work with a SiS 648 chipset and I haven't seen any implementation of such yet. I'm currently using a 2.4.19 kernel. Without a working implementation I can't use accelerated OpenGL with an ATI Radeon 9500 pro because the ATI drivers require working agp support. I've tried just using the generic-sis but that causes the driver to mess up big time.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Tim Lee

the SiS648 isn't in the main 2.4.x tree. It works in the -ac tree, though.

In what -ac, the most recent for the 2.4.21-pre7-ac1?
Thanks,

The last one that I used was 2.4.20<something> and it worked for agp. I just use 2.5.x now cause it works a lot better with SiS chipsets (for me, anyway).

Currently no documentation is the problem. That may (fingers cross) change soon. Until then sorry..

I've had the 648 docs for a while under NDA, but the lack of hardware has pushed this further down my TODO list. I'll get to it eventually if no-one else does..
