Guest itti Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I was wondering if i should switch from Kernel AGPGART to NvAGP cause i read that it supports my KT133 Chipset. Would there be any increase in performance with NvAGP? What do you consider to be the best way to use AGP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I would like to know as well. What's the difference? And how to modify to switch the module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest namaste1 Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 At least with my machine nvagp is the only way to keep everything stable. With native linux agp system freezes quite often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frew Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Hmmm, I have an nvidia and my comp crashes every few days. (yes I append mem=nopentium) Would this have anything to do it? and If so what would I do to enable it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 8.2 AGPGART works fine, 9.0 NvAGP made it stable 4 me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest namaste1 Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I don't remember exactly how to enable nvagp, but there are excellent instructions in Nvidia site or in the readme file. You just modify your Xfree4 config file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest itti Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 i switched to nvagp now by appending Option "NVAGP" "1" to my XF86-Config-4 right under Option "DPMS".lsmod tells me that the AGPGART module is not loaded anymore. everything runs fine for now but no increase in performance.

Guest namaste1 Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 BTW, how do you measure performance in linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
