Status of AGP

Status of AGP

[Jacob Gorm Hansen]

hi,

I noticed a lot of debugging going on on this list with regards to Xen 
and AGP and graphics cards.

I would like to play with a recent Xen version, and try on do some 
graphics virtualisation work, on my Thinkpad T42p with ATI FireGL 
(Radeon) card.

Has anyone gotten a configuration like this to work with Xen (currently, 
on Xen 2.01 from tar.gz) I am able to compile and load the ati 'fglrx' 
kernel module in dom0, but it says it can't find the graphics hardware, 
so I get no 3d accelleration.

I noticed that improving this situation is on the roadmap, but given all 
the noise about this on the list I was wondering if any progress has 
been made so far?

thanks,
Jacob

AGP works for most people using a recent Xen (2.0.3) and a 2.6 kernel.

Has the boot code restructuring originally scheduled for january
already happened?

I ask this, because the nForce2 driver requires the AGP bridge to be
visible for AGP to work on it.
