Re: i810 woes... please help!
Hey Phil,
well, as I told you, I wanted to compile my own kernel (to tailor it to my portable PC hardware: no need for SCSI support, no need of all that stuff for every kind of network cards but only for my ethernet intel card, no need of raid, and so on. In so doing I spared 8 jucy MB of RAM out of 64). So I did not experience your problems in compiling agpgart.o (only once at the very beginning when I hadn't still modified the kernel!).
Instead, I'm somewhat surprised that XF86_SVGA (I think you're referring to the standard driver coming with potato)works correctly. As a matter of fact I didn't even try this solution but complied thoroughly to the one proposed by intel documentation of i810. I'll have a go at it!!!
UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG OF WHAT I'VE SAID.
By the way, we could suggest the Debian people to make us improve i810 documentation to other users' benefit.
Ciao
Vittorio (or Victor, my family actual nickname)
