Hi to everyone.
I have a red hat linux 7.2 with kernel 2.4.10
In order to use the DRI functionality with my ATI Radeon graphics card
I'm trying to enable the agp support.
Using "make xconfig" I enabled the AGP gart support and enabled the
support for AMD Irongate chipsets, and also VIA... recompiled kernel,
modules and correctly installed all.
When the kernel starts in the messages I can read that the agp support
is disabled due tu "Unsupported AMD chipset...".
I have a motherboard A-Bit KG7 Raid.. with AMD761 northbridge and VIA
82C686 southbridge... Maybe is the mixed chipset that causes problems ?

chipsets. I also have a ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon AGP video card. The
Linux distribution that I have installed is Slackware 8.0.
I saw this error message on early kernels. I just installed the 2.4.18
kernel and this error went away.
I still have not been able to get the Radeon video card to work
satisfactorially. I still get lockups of the entire system when
starting the X Windows system with certain options turned on in the
XF86Config file, specifically when I comment out the following:
Option "NoAccel"
