Yep. This is nothing related with AGP, and will not change in the immediate future as currently we can't handle simultaneous 2D and 3D acceleration. (Note that this isn't related to 4.2.0 too, just with the mach64 snapshots) If you need 2D performance, don't forget you can uninstall the snapshot at any time by running "./install.sh restore". > > What should I do next? You have two options. One is disable AGP which isn't required (and hardly used) at the moment (if have to recompile the kernel for having agpgart as a module since we don't have an option to control that yet); but I strongly advise you to also try to figure out what may be wrong with your AGP device. Things you could do are determine which your AGP chip and search for troubleshouting info on the web about it. Jeff Hartman still hangs around this list and perhaps he may be of some help in that matter. Jose Fonseca _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
