Two agpgart probes at boot.

Two agpgart probes at boot.

[Nick Warne]

Hi all,

Can anybody point me in the direction of why I get 'what appears' to be two 
agpgart probes on boot (2.6.11.12 on updated Slack 10):

Jun 17 18:40:27 linuxamd kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 
0000:00:00.0.
Jun 17 18:40:27 linuxamd kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 
0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
Jun 17 18:40:27 linuxamd kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 
0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode
Jun 17 18:40:27 linuxamd kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 
0000:00:00.0.
Jun 17 18:40:27 linuxamd kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 
0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
Jun 17 18:40:27 linuxamd kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 
0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode

TIA,

Nick

These messages aren't probing messages per se. They happen when something
(typically X) opens /dev/agpgart and sets up dri. It'll get logged
every time that X gets restarted.  That there are two of them with the
same datestamp is odd though. For some reason your X did this twice.

Ok, thanks for the info on what is going on.  I have just spent a few minutes 
looking at all the logs and configs, but can see nothing untoward.

I don't load the DRI module in xorg.conf, btw.

It doesn't harm anything, so I will stumble on the reason why one day when 
doing something else, I expect.  It maybe a nVidia thing...

Well, after all this time, it is a nVidia thing:

Hopefully google bot will index this and anybody else will find the answer.

Give nVidia their binary due though - at least they have bods on the forum to 
answer.
