modprobe agpgart not working

sud_crow · 2003-12-10 07:48:06

I have one of the "unsuppported via chipsets" regarding agpgart, and i get the message "try agp_try_unsupported=1".

So i googled for this, and i found that this is a modprobe argument as follows:

[root@archcrow crow]# modprobe agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1
modprobe: Can't locate module agpgart
[root@archcrow crow]#

But as you see, its not working, though i built support for it in the kernel (its a custum 2.4.23)...

I had this "unsupported" message since... ever, so its not an actual kernel problem, the actual problem might be the module agpgart...

any tips are welcome!
thanks in advance.

If you've compiled the agpgart module into the kernel (like it is with the default arch kernel) then you'll have real trouble loading it as a module too ;o)

In that case you want to just pass agp_try_unsupported=1 in your lilo.conf or menu.lst at bootup.

:oops:

I was thinking about that yesterday, altough i couldnt make any changes due to time problems, thanks for confirming it

I will try with lilo.conf, thanks for the tip.

Ok, ive been busy lately, and i could try the LILO thing yesterday, i cant get lilo to recognize the option... where should i place it ??

On the good side, the 2.6 kernel agpgart is working without any "tweaks".

Thanks.

To pass other arguments to the kernel with lilo you have to specify the 'append' option. So:

append="agp_try_unsupported=1"
