FX 5700 LE - Cant get AGP to work..

[ibzrg470]

Im running Fedora Core 2. I have looked through the FC2 thread but still cant find an answer.

Here's what I got:

xorg.conf

Section "Device"

Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 LE Optima"
Option "NvAGP" "1"

[steve@localhost steve]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status: Disabled

AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput
of the 'dmesg' command and/or your system log file
for additional information on this problem.


[steve@localhost steve]$ dmesg |grep agp
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected VIA Twister-K/KT133x/KM133 chipset
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M

[steve@localhost steve]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card

Registers: 0x1f000217:0x00000000

I change the xorg.conf file to say Option "NvAGP" "3" and ran modprobe agpgart and got :

[steve@localhost steve]$ /sbin/modprobe agpgart
FATAL: Module agpgart not found.

just to make sure... via agp support is in the kernel

[steve@localhost steve]$ cat /boot/config-2.6.8-1.521 |grep VIA
# CONFIG_MVIAC3_2 is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=m
# CONFIG_VIA_FIR is not set
CONFIG_VIA_RHINE=m
CONFIG_VIA_RHINE_MMIO=y
CONFIG_VIA_VELOCITY=m
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
CONFIG_I2C_VIA=m
CONFIG_I2C_VIAPRO=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_VIA686A=m
CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=m

Im completely lost here... can anyone help?

Are you running X at the time? AGP will show up as disabled according to the nVidia driver if X is not running. The kernel module has to actually be in use.

i figured this part out actually. agpgart is compiled into the kernel by default with FC2, so I just needed to make a change to xorg.conf

then X started to hang, which i found to be a problem with agp4x mode. Now Im trying to get doom3 to run, and I have a feeling it has something to do with the way it was installed.
