Hello, I'm new to the list and I have a question (or two, or three, or... ;)
I just purchased a Tyan K7 Thunder (Dual Athlon motherboard) and I am running dual 1.4GHz Athlons and a GeForce 3 on it. It appears that the current (2.4.7
kernel) agpgart module does not directly support the AMD-760 MP chipset. I am planning upon modifying agpgart to support it. My question is: Is anyone already
doing this? I don't want to re-create the wheel, I just want full support on this screaming fast system.
Are there other mailing lists that I might want to join and ask this question on?
Thanks,
PGA

I have a pre production Tyan mb that I tested things on. It seemed to
work just fine with agp_try_unsupported=1. Please test it with
agp_try_unsupported on an actual production system to make sure, but if
it works just send me the output of lspci -vvv and I'll put it in the
kernel.

It's been working very well here for some time, on an ASUS A7M266
motherboard. The output from lspci is attached.

Thanks.
I actually have my agpgart module recognizing the AMD-762 (AMD760 MP Northbridge). I added a #define for its ID (700c) right along with the existing Irongate
#define. I no longer have to use agp_try_unsupported in order to load the agpgart driver. I haven't yet gotten the PCI code to recognize the various IDs for the
Host Bridge, PCI Bridge, ISA and IDE.
It appears that the AMD760 MP chipset has the same register map as the previous set, with some additional registers enabled for new functionality (in the older
chip, these registers are listed as Reserved).
I've also found that I my ATA100 drive is operating as a straight 16-bit IDE drive. I can enable DMA, Ultra66, Write Cache, and 32-bit I/O using hdparm, but it
will be nice when all this can be set automagically by the system.
I also see in your attachment some IDs that I have not seen in the code nor in AMDs data/rev documents. The IDs for my chipset are 700c (Host) and 700d (PCI).
