deal,
My thinkpad x200's X.server can not startup on the kernel 2.6.28,
and dmesg will show as below:
-->>--

Then, I change file "drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.c" as this:

And Xorg can start now.
(1) Is it correct ?
Because older kernel use size as "512 + 4" at here, but now use "size = 4".
(2) How to deal with it if the patch is not right ?
(3) How to get more specification about gm4500 ?

Were any earlier kernels OK? If so, which version(s)?
Thanks.

What userspace Intel X driver is in use? afaik the GM45 wasn't supported
until after we fixed this issue. Hacking around the size in the kernel
won't actually fix the problem it actually makes a lot of things a lot
worse.

My video-driver is "xf86-video-intel 2.3.2",
and "X.Org X Server 1.4.2", my distribution is Archlinux.
The patch's size is calculated with the dmesg from kernel-2.6.27.
My lap-top computer work now, but I'm not sure that, So is there any
specification about it or any suggestion, I'm glad to do some test on
it.
