Description:
Hi. I am using ati radeon 9250 card on agp pt880 ultra chipset, 64bit
architecture. There is no support for this chipset in kernel, so I
decided to add by myself this. My agp looks like:

Unfortunately via-agp driver has dependency on x86_32. I have to remove
it in KConfig. Than add support fot my chipset:

After compile and reboot for the first look everything is great agp detected:

I started KDE, then run glxinfo, and BANG. Everything hanged.

Hm, I noticed that there is also support for some garts ni fglrx. I hacked one driver to my id (using new pure kernel)
bluszcz at akira:/tmp/modules$ grep -ri 0308 .
./fglrx/agp.h: #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8363_0 0x0308
bluszcz at akira:/tmp/modules$ sudo

recompile module, but it doesn't detect my agpgart again :/
