so I guessed

The new DRI support announced by Gareth is using the PCI GART which
doesn't need the AGP capabilities.

makes sense

Don't enable either AGP or DRI in your
kernel, and build the kernel r128 DRM module from XFree sources.

I didnt, but as mentioned when I dont have AGP gart enabled in the kernel
make in the kernel module directory in the X Free source tree only makes
tdfx, it fdoesnt do r128 or anything else.

You need
to use the CVS branch posted earlier by Gareth.

I am using that branch.

I slightly hacked my own
to build since I lack the glide libs necessary for the 3dfx stuff to compile.

what does glide have to do with this? isnt that only used with tdfx?

So where do I find out about pci gart and how to make the r128 driver
compile using it? Should I simply read through the Makefil and the r128 code
and ifnd the stuff related to pci gart and enable anything there possibly
turned off or some such?
