Does anyone know the status to 8x agp support under linux?
I am using the Granite bay 7205 chipset and I cant get my geforce4 card
to use agpgart or nvidia's agp support, it seems to be defaulting to pci
mode (not even using 4x agp).
I do a:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
which is my indication that i am not using agp bus to its fullest.

For 2.4, there is a patch for that chipset (that didnt get merged
to mainline). 2.5 has it supported out-of-the-box, but likely
breaks with your binary nvidia driver.

Casey, I can send you the 2.4 patch for the E7205/E7505 chipsets that I posted a while back that also incorporates AGP 3.0 support if you are interested. However as Dave mentioned, I did have quite a bit of trouble with the Nvidia 8x binary only driver, so ymmv....
