The PCI ID is not listed in amd64-agp.c so it is not recognized Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile in agpgart support 2. Boot on SiS760 chips 3. agpgart does not find a supported chipset Actual Results: No agpgart support Expected Results: Agpgart support The below patch fixes the issue (just adds the 760 PCI ID) to kernel linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 --- linux/drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.c.orig 2005-04-22 22:21:36.000000000 +0000 +++ linux/drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.c 2005-04-22 21:35:08.000000000 +0000 @@ -685,6 +685,15 @@ static struct pci_device_id agp_amd64_pc .subvendor = PCI_ANY_ID, .subdevice = PCI_ANY_ID, }, + /* SIS 760 */ + { + .class = (PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE_HOST << 8), + .class_mask = ~0, + .vendor = PCI_VENDOR_ID_SI, + .device = PCI_DEVICE_ID_SI_760, + .subvendor = PCI_ANY_ID, + .subdevice = PCI_ANY_ID, + }, { } };
Created attachment 61364 [details, diff] Patch to add PCI ID for SiS760
kernel team: Can we add this to the gentoo patchset? It seems trivial.
This device is supported by the sis-agp driver
You cannot select the sis-agp driver on amd64 - you have to use the amd64-agp driver. The kconfig parameters prevent it.
Ok, where has the patch come from? Has it been submitted upstream?
I sent the patch to the the two maintainers listed in the amd64-agp.c file but I did get a reply.
I suggest you read Documentation/SubmittingPatches and re-submit if you did not do it exactly as described there.

I have not received a reply from either maintainer. I wanted to get the patch at least into the Gentoo kernel so I do not have to manually re-patch my kernel. Any recommendations on another place to submit the patch?
Have you read Documentation/SubmittingPatches? (Feel free to confirm the details here before you send it...)
Bump.. Any progress on this? Would you like me to submit the patch for you?
Yes, if you would not mind. I did not get any replies to my original submission and I do not have time right now to persue it further.
Done, awaiting response
Ok, its accepted into 2.6.13-rc1. I'm not going to include this in gentoo-sources, because its non-critical and you can work around it quite easily: If you have built agpgart into the kernel, boot with agp=try_unsupported If its built as module, load it with parameter agp_try_unsupported=1 Thanks for the report.
