Hi Andrew,
I tried both, even setting NvAgp to "0", but no luck. I also
tried to play with ReqAGP to force lower AGP rates, still the
problem remains. Of the three cards, the only one which keeps
not working is the 5200. I wonder if it is an AGP issue, but
even using the Kernel AGP made no difference.
Any other idea ? Or someone having that same card + same kernel ?
(chipset is via kt400).
Thanks, Luca.
