by I have an MSI 8831 video card (geforce 2) and a FIC AD11 mom board (AMD
761). I'm running Slackware 8.0 (XFree86 4.1.0) with a 2.4.12 kernel
that I compiled (mtrr support is compiled in). I'm using the nvidia
1.0-1541 driver.
When agpgart isn't compiled in, after I startx "dmesg | grep NVRM" yields:
NVRM: loading NVIDIA kernel module version 1.0-1541
NVRM: *** Cannot WriteCombine the AGP Aperture
"cat /proc/nv/card0" yields:
----- Driver Info -----

Does anyone have any ideas? Is this just a configuration problem? Am I
having a hardware problem?
Much thanks,
