Hans-G?nter@1217 1 /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
Hans-G?nter@1217 2
Hans-G?nter@1217 3 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is a bus system mainly used to connect graphics
Hans-G?nter@1217 4 cards to the rest of the system.
Hans-G?nter@1217 5
Hans-G?nter@1217 6 If you have an AGP system, it will be possible to use the AGP features of your
Hans-G?nter@1217 7 3D rendering video card. This code acts as a sort of "AGP driver" for the
Hans-G?nter@1217 8 motherboard's chipset.
Hans-G?nter@1217 9
Hans-G?nter@1217 10 If you need more texture memory than you can get with the AGP GART
Hans-G?nter@1217 11 (theoretically up to 256 MB, but in practice usually 64 or 128 MB due to Kernel
Hans-G?nter@1217 12 allocation issues), you could use PCI accesses and have up to a couple gigs of
Hans-G?nter@1217 13 texture space.
Hans-G?nter@1217 14
Hans-G?nter@1217 15 Note that this is the only means to have X/GLX use write-combining with MTRR
Hans-G?nter@1217 16 support on the AGP bus. Without it, OpenGL direct rendering will be a lot
Hans-G?nter@1217 17 slower but still faster than PIO.
Hans-G?nter@1217 18
Hans-G?nter@1217 19 You should use this module if you want to use GLX or DRI.
Hans-G?nter@1217 20
Hans-G?nter@1217 21 * ali-agp: ALI chipset support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 22 This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on the
Hans-G?nter@1217 23 following ALi chipsets. The supported chipsets include M1541, M1621, M1631,
Hans-G?nter@1217 24 M1632, M1641,M1647,and M1651. For the ALi-chipset question, ALi suggests
Hans-G?nter@1217 25 you refer to <http://www.ali.com.tw/>.
Hans-G?nter@1217 26 * ati-agp: ATI chipset support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 27 This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on the ATI
Hans-G?nter@1217 28 RadeonIGP family of chipsets.
Hans-G?nter@1217 29 * amd-k7-agp: AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 30 This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on AMD
Hans-G?nter@1217 31 Irongate, 761, and 762 chipsets.
Hans-G?nter@1217 32 * amd64-agp: AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 33 This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X using the
Hans-G?nter@1217 34 on-CPU northbridge of the AMD Athlon64/Opteron CPUs. You still need an
Hans-G?nter@1217 35 external AGP bridge like the AMD 8151, VIA K8T400M, SiS755. It may also
Hans-G?nter@1217 36 support other AGP bridges when loaded with agp_try_unsupported=1.
Hans-G?nter@1217 37 * intel-agp, intel-gtt: Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 38 This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on Intel
Hans-G?nter@1217 39 440LX/BX/GX, 815, 820, 830, 840, 845, 850, 860, 875, E7205 and E7505
Hans-G?nter@1217 40 chipsets and full support for the 810, 815, 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
Hans-G?nter@1217 41 and I915 integrated graphics chipsets.
Hans-G?nter@1217 42 * nvidia-agp: NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 43 This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on NVIDIA
Hans-G?nter@1217 44 chipsets including nForce and nForce2.
Hans-G?nter@1217 45 * sis-agp: SiS chipset support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 46 This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on Silicon
Hans-G?nter@1217 47 Integrated Systems [SiS] chipsets. Note that 5591/5592 AGP chipsets are NOT
Hans-G?nter@1217 48 supported.
Hans-G?nter@1217 49 * sworks-agp: Serverworks LE/HE chipset support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 50 See <http://www.serverworks.com/> for product descriptions and images.
Hans-G?nter@1217 51 * via-agp: VIA chipset support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 52 This module gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X on VIA
Hans-G?nter@1217 53 MVP3/Apollo Pro chipsets.
Hans-G?nter@1217 54 * efficeon-agp: Transmeta Efficeon support.
Hans-G?nter@1217 55 This option gives you AGP support for the Transmeta Efficeon series
Hans-G?nter@1217 56 processors with integrated northbridges.
