Hi, lspci tells: 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82820 820 (Camino) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 03) my kernel config is device drivers --> character devices --> <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) <*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx ... <*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 ....) <*> Intel I810M <*> Intel 830M, 845G, ... anything else is not checked.
