Yes, agpgart support for G33 is required for X to work with better than VESA. I put a bit of code in for dealing with it (disabled by default), but G33's stolen memory handling is a bit different, so it'll take some debugging with the hardware to support it. -- Eric Anholt anholt_at_FreeBSD.org eric_at_anholt.net eric.anholt_at_intel.com
