agppart module..
hi..
i use knoppix3.3 ..after booting ..when it stats Starting X11..it gives following error:
Starting X11 [drm:drm_init] *ERROR * Cannot initialize the agppart module
/lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i810.o: init_modules: Cannot allocate memory.
Hint: insmod erroe=rs can be caused by incorrect modules parameters.
You may find more info. In syslog or the output from dmesg.
/lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i810.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i810.o: failed.
wht is mean by this & why this error occured?
though X server starts after that & everything works fine.
thankx.

I also was getting this error with knoppix 3.3 & with 3.4 using the 2.4 kernel (also i810 vid card). Switching to 3.4 / 2.6 kernel fixed it.
Agpgart has to do with video card acceleration, I could not use graphics-intensive applications like tuxracer until it was working.

IIRC I had the same memory problem with Knoppix 3.3 and i810, and solved it by adding a line for more video memory in /etc/X11/XF86config-4 :
Code:
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
# sw_cursor is needed for some ati and radeon cards
#Option "sw_cursor"
#Option "hw_cursor"
#Option "NoAccel"
#Option "ShowCache"
#Option "ShadowFB"
#Option "UseFBDev"
#Option "Rotate"
Identifier "Card0"
# The following line is auto-generated by KNOPPIX mkxf86config
Driver "i810"
VendorName "All"
BoardName "All"
# BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
VideoRam 16384
EndSection

I have also added video memory but still the agpgart module will not initialize unless I use the 2.6 kernel.

Hmm, makes me wish I'd remember what I did to make tuxracer run on 3.3. Wasn't there 3 different i810 display adapters to choose from, but only one worked (after adding memory). Easier to try a newer version of knoppix though.
