Has anyone on the list used a motherboard that uses the Via KT400 AGPset? I
just purchased a Gigabyte GA-7VAX that has it.

I have the 7VAXP. I only had problems with AGP and sound, and using
2.4.20-ac2 absolutely everything on this board works (finally -
sound!). AGP worked in 2.4.20-ac1 as well as 2.4.21-pre1. I think
the the IDE issue was resolved in 2.4.20.

Hi Dave,

just to inform you:
I have requested the KT400 agp specs from VIA.
I'll receive the docs in 1-2 days.
As far as i have the docs, I can help you with on the VIA AGP 3 issue.

My state:
- found a 2.4.20-rc? patch for the Intel 7505 with agp 3 support.
- copied via_generic_setup to via_kt400_setup and modified it to
agp3
- waiting for the via specs

The AGP only works if the chipset is in 2.0 compatability mode.
Luckily some BIOSen out there seem to do that if a 2.0 card is present.
If you have an AGP 3.0 card in there you're shit out of luck right now.
I'm working on it..
