Hi all,

I have upgraded my home desktop (1.4GHz P-IIIS) machine from 6.2-RELEASE-p9
to 7.0-RELEASE some time ago. When comparing the two dmesg outputs from 6.2
and 7.0, I realized that some things aren't the same anymore.

Probing agp gives the following messages
----------
6.2-RELEASE-p9:
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
agp0: <VIA 862x (CLE266) host to PCI bridge> mem 0xe0000000-0xe0ffffff at
device 0.0 on pci0
pcib1: <PCI-PCI bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0
pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1
pci1: <display, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)

7.0-RELEASE:
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
agp0: <VIA 862x (CLE266) host to PCI bridge> on hostb0
agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0agp0:
bad aperture size
agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0agp0: Invalid aperture size (0Mb)
device_attach: agp0 attach returned 12
pcib1: <PCI-PCI bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0
pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1
vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> mem
0xd8000000-0xdbffffff,0xde000000-0xdeffffff
at device 0.0 on pci1
----------

So what are the errors "agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0" and "agp0: bad
aperture size (0Mb)" and "device_attach: agp0 attach returned 12" that I see
in 7.0-RELEASE? I assume that agp driver is not attached, so there's
something wrong with its implementation in 7.0, right?

I have uploaded the complete dmesg's to
6.2-RELEASE dmesg :    http://pastebin.com/f12c0ff27
7.0-RELEASE dmesg :    http://pastebin.com/f3e6809c6

Thanks a lot :)
