Now you've got my interest.. how would I do this (checking the cmos
values)?
Another question is regarding AGP 4X. I have the A31P, which boasts AGP 4X
on the website. In XP with the default drivers that are provided, I was
able to see if Windows ran in AGP 4X mode, there's a setting that lets you
do it. I was able to use it fine.
But in Linux I was not. able to go to AGP 4X
`glxinfo | grep -i "renderer string"
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20010402 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE`
I've checked all over the BIOS, there was no way I could set the mode to
4X. I talked with mharris of Red Hat who wrote the driver for the ATI 7800
card. I cannot just change the XFree86 config file and have it switch to
4X automatically. I tried it anyway, and it didn't work.
Does anyone know of how I could force AGP 4X on this thing ? I would
really like to see this working.. as I could switch to Linux for UT and
Q3. Hopefully, the next version of Unreal 2002 will work on Linux as well.
