Hello, Is Intel G965 supported on -CURRENT? It seems that the chipset cannot be detected as AGP by the kernel module 'agp' (it is a PCI Express chip in reality, as far as I know), so 'i915' and 'drm' modules cannot be loaded, and the X.org driver for i810 cannot be used to start X. Previously, I had 6.2-RELEASE installed, and that did not support the chipset (no agpgart device in /dev/, no 'agp' kernel module loaded). I tried updating some source files (agp.c, agp_intel.c, agp_i810.c, agpreg.h) using the -CURRENT sources and patching agp.c and agpreg.h with Eric Anholt's submitted patch ( see http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?1177096992.5641.11.camel ), but that didn't work as well; no matter what I tried with 6.2-RELEASE, no agp device was detected. Then I erased my -RELEASE install and tried -STABLE with the same results - no agp present. So I tried installing 7.0-CURRENT (though I could not install it, but that's another issue). Looking at the output of the system while booting, it was the only time that instead of ---------- pci0: <display, VGA> at device 2.0 (no driver attached) ---------- I did get something else (sorry, I don't remember the exact output now, but 'no driver attached' was not there and some hex address was present). Then I tried loading the 'i915' and 'drm' modules at the loader prompt, and 'drm' said something along the lines of 'no agp device present' (again, i don't remember the exact message), so it did not load. This is all before installing the 7.0-CURRENT (which I could not do), so maybe if I use Eric Anholt's patch for agp.c, it'll work. I would greatly appreciate any help here...Received on Fri Jun 15 2007 - 03:24:20 UTC
