Unfortunately even a perfect backport seems to be only a partial solution -- the ATI binary only drivers don't seem to know how to talk to the 2.5 AGP 3.0 stuff anyway (well, at least they didn't work at all when I tried them under the 2.5 kernel :-/), and as they are lame binary-only drivers there is no way to fix that. There are also no other drivers for the R300-series Radeon GPUs. :-( This absolutely sucks, but turning the card into an AGP 2.0 card seems to be the only surefire way to get it to work properly under Linux. :-( ----- James Sellman -- ISU CoE-CS/ISLUG Linux Lab Admin |"Lum, did you just see ----------------------------------------------------| a hentai rabbit flying skuld@inconnu.isu.edu | // A4000/604e/60 128M| through the air?" skuld@anime.net | \X/ A500/20 3M | - Miyake Shinobu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
