Yay, any chance of getting the nvidia gpl agp nforce drivers as part of an
updated kernel package that's released at the same time? The 2.4.20 kernel
that comes with 9 just missed out on the driver for this (I think it was
included with the 2.4.21 kernel) so my Radeon 9200 Pro has been running
without agp accel and with a ChipId entry to get it working. The new xfree
package will solve half the problem and I'm sure I'm not the only person
with a nforce board and I wouldn't have thought they would be that invasive
or effect anything else in the kernel.

Lspci entry FYI (in the list below as far as I can tell :-)

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5961
(rev 01)

Thanks and regards

Peter
