Subject: Support for KT400 AGP x8 + ATI drivers

Hello !

I am using a VIA Board with KT400 chipset, AGP x8 (v3)
and the commercial ATI drivers for my Radeon 9600.

The standard 2.4.22 Kernel had the problem that AGP v3 was
not supported and AGPGart was not able to detect the AGP mem size.

My question is now is there a patch for the latest stable kernel
or do i have to use the dev. kernel ?


THANKS.

You do not need such patch, ATI's drivers come with their internal AGP
support.
During installation (rpm or after during fglrxconfig) you are asked if you
would like to use internal or external agpgart. Use internal...
