I didnt, but as mentioned when I dont have AGP gart enabled in the kernel
make in the kernel module directory in the X Free source tree only makes
tdfx, it fdoesnt do r128 or anything else.

what does glide have to do with this? isnt that only used with tdfx?

So where do I find out about pci gart and how to make the r128 driver
compile using it? Should I simply read through the Makefil and the r128 code
and ifnd the stuff related to pci gart and enable anything there possibly
turned off or some such?
