Re: X crashes; how to diagnose Whether or not there bee an agp port, horrifying as it is, the i810
deviceorama is an agp type on-board "card", so to speak, so will/must
work with the agpgart module/kernel option. Either way --
module/in_kernel will work.
AGP support is required for the i810 module.
agpgart.o is required for AGP support if you are modularizing.
You also have to enable i810 on board support which is a separate
kernel option and is AGP as well.
With i810 on board support it may not be necessary of course to
enable the i810 card support. But they are both AGP.
DRI should be enabled as well in character devices. This could speed
writes up bigtime.
If you enable MTRR in the processor options, then the whole system
will work faster.
Out on a limb here, but I would drop your processor type back a notch
when compiling and not try to optimize codes for the CPU. Vanilla
586 may work better.
