From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I have testet this with kernel 2.4.24 and it works I have testet it with build in Kernel 2.4.21-9.EL and it fails In my opinion the Problem is that my nvidia nforce 2 board is not correctly recognized by RHEL 3 Kernel. The Problem appears if I run the fgl_glxgears which comes with the ati driver (and access the agp i think), then the Screen freezes and the system hang. So if that is the Problem please include updated nforce drivers in RHEL Kernel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): newest fglrx driver from ATI How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the Ati Linux driver from www.ati.com 2. Install the Ati Linux driver 3. Run the ATI XFree Config Script and disable internal agp support 4. Restart X Actual Results: X hangs or doesn't start at all Expected Results: X should start correctly Additional info:
Red Hat does not support 3rd party video drivers or kernel modules. Please contact ATI directly for technical support assistance for problems encountered with their drivers. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78616 ***
No the Problem exist because in Kernel 2.4.21 an corrupt agpgart nvidia Driver included, and this is fixed i think in kernel 2.4.22 Vanilla, and i am not shure, but i think red hat hasn't fix it in they'r enterprise kernel.
In any case, agpgart is not part of XFree86, so XFree86 is totally unrelated to the problem reported in this report. Reassigning to the kernel component for kernel engineer evaluation.
the ati driver comes with their own AGP driver that ignores the kernel one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78616 ***
That is right but you can turn off internal agpgart driver so I do, because the internal agpgart doesn't work for my nforce Board, this is a known bug in ATI Driver and NOT the reason for this report, but if i use kernel 2.4.24 vanilla instead of kernel 2.4.21EL it works. The only problem i have if I use kernel 2.4.24 vanilla is that there is no ntpl included, and it seems that some (gnome) applications essentially need ntpl. So I think that agpgart Code in RHEL 2.4.21 is not the recent on, but I didnt know for shure.
