I guess I should have said something about that :) Would it be possible for you to send some dmesg output. Maybe keep X from starting, get the output, and send it to me.

BTW have you ever seen any other AIW cards before, I was curious if the new one looked any better or worse. --Brian Jackson > > - -- Edward Killips > > - -----Original Message----- > From: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org > [mailto:linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org]On Behalf Of Brian Jackson > Sent: Saturday, February 15, 2003 10:35 PM > To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org; davej@codemonkey.org.uk; > brian@brianandsara.net > Subject: 2.5 AGP for 2.4.21-pre4 > > > This is a poor attempt at a backport of the 2.5.61 AGP subsystem by someone > who doesn't know what he is doing and is in way over his head.
