Re: Problems with ATI Fire GX1 128MB card on Dell Precision 360 running RedHat 7.2

["david moloney" <moloned tcd ie>]

Problem solved:

the fix is to add the following line to /etc/modules.conf  (as root):

options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1

after this you can do modprobe and lsmod to see that agpgart is running and
then startx.
