Thanks, I've found the agpgart.c and agpgart.h in
xfree86-1_3.3.6.orig.tar.gz (in source/x11 directory of didtribution).
Now I'm a little confused, because it is obviously different from
the agp_backend, provided in the 2.2.14 kernel sources provided
with RedHat 6.2.
(available eg. at:
ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/redhat/current/i386/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
)
AFAIK both potato and debian use the same xfree86-3.3.6.
So what is the difference between the agp_backend and agpgart?
Which one is better?
Has anybody tested and compared both of them?
It seems to me, that agp_backend (internally marked as AGPGART module
version 0.99) is just the previous version of agpgart (internally
marked as agpgart.c,v 1.1.2.2 1999/11/18 19:06:20)...
