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. > You need > to use the CVS branch posted earlier by Gareth.

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?
