Fedora fc11-14 intel_agp module

[MrDaler]

I am not able to run different video modes with my laptop as it will only load the vesa driver.

I did test my laptop with Linux Mint running the x86_64 kernel and was able to 3d graphics. This kernel I noted was loading an intel_agp module along with the drm modules for i915. This is not available in Fedora 11-14.

With this information I would like to patch my kernel source for this module. I have not done this and am looking for some help.

Thanks

If the modules are available, but just not installed in the kernel, then you need to download and install the kernel sources. Once you do that, you log in or su to root, cd to the source directory where the Makefile exists, and execute the configuration command, either make menuconfig or make xconfig. I'm not where where (or if) in the configuration menu tree you will find the AGP options.

This may not be the main issue.

After further investigation I found the following in dmesg:

This loaded but with the following issues:

After this video is defaulted to the vga driver.

Any insites?

Alternatively, try updating the system bios.
