     1.4 +/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
     1.5 +
     1.6 +AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is a bus system mainly used to connect graphics
     1.7 +cards to the rest of the system.
     1.8 +
     1.9 +If you have an AGP system, it will be possible to use the AGP features of your
    1.10 +3D rendering video card. This code acts as a sort of "AGP driver" for the
    1.11 +motherboard's chipset.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +If you need more texture memory than you can get with the AGP GART
    1.14 +(theoretically up to 256 MB, but in practice usually 64 or 128 MB due to Kernel
    1.15 +allocation issues), you could use PCI accesses and have up to a couple gigs of
    1.16 +texture space.
    1.17 +
    1.18 +Note that this is the only means to have X/GLX use write-combining with MTRR
    1.19 +support on the AGP bus. Without it, OpenGL direct rendering will be a lot
    1.20 +slower but still faster than PIO.
    1.21 +
    1.22 +You should use this module if you want to use GLX or DRI.
    1.23 +
    1.24 +  * ali-agp: ALI chipset support.
    1.25 +    This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on the
    1.26 +    following ALi chipsets. The supported chipsets include M1541, M1621, M1631,
    1.27 +    M1632, M1641,M1647,and M1651. For the ALi-chipset question, ALi suggests
    1.28 +    you refer to <http://www.ali.com.tw/>.
    1.29 +  * ati-agp: ATI chipset support.
    1.30 +    This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on the ATI
    1.31 +    RadeonIGP family of chipsets.
    1.32 +  * amd-k7-agp: AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support.
    1.33 +    This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on AMD
    1.34 +    Irongate, 761, and 762 chipsets.
    1.35 +  * amd64-agp: AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support.
    1.36 +    This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X using the
    1.37 +    on-CPU northbridge of the AMD Athlon64/Opteron CPUs. You still need an
    1.38 +    external AGP bridge like the AMD 8151, VIA K8T400M, SiS755. It may also
    1.39 +    support other AGP bridges when loaded with agp_try_unsupported=1.
    1.40 +  * intel-agp, intel-gtt: Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support.
    1.41 +    This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on Intel
    1.42 +    440LX/BX/GX, 815, 820, 830, 840, 845, 850, 860, 875, E7205 and E7505
    1.43 +    chipsets and full support for the 810, 815, 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
    1.44 +    and I915 integrated graphics chipsets.
    1.45 +  * nvidia-agp: NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support.
    1.46 +    This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on NVIDIA
    1.47 +    chipsets including nForce and nForce2.
    1.48 +  * sis-agp: SiS chipset support.
    1.49 +    This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on Silicon
    1.50 +    Integrated Systems [SiS] chipsets. Note that 5591/5592 AGP chipsets are NOT
    1.51 +    supported.
    1.52 +  * sworks-agp: Serverworks LE/HE chipset support.
    1.53 +    See <http://www.serverworks.com/> for product descriptions and images.
    1.54 +  * via-agp: VIA chipset support.
    1.55 +    This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on VIA
    1.56 +    MVP3/Apollo Pro chipsets.
    1.57 +  * efficeon-agp: Transmeta Efficeon support.
    1.58 +    This option gives you AGP support for the Transmeta Efficeon series
    1.59 +    processors with integrated northbridges.
