Stop agpgart from loading

**dave52355** · 11-01-2003, 06:44 AM

Since I am not using on board graphics is there a way to prevent agpgart module from loading? (Using a PCI graphics card) Or would this be a really bad thing to do?

Thanks

Thank you!

If this works can it be made permanent?

Thanks

IF you save your config it will be used everytime you boot with that config.

Um, I dont think I can do boot: noagp This is a HD install and it just goes into the OS. Is there a .conf I can edit?

Thanks

Edit /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and add rmmod agpgart at the bottom of the file just before the : exit 0 and it will get removed every time at boot.

I am not able to find :exit 0 in the file. Do I need to add the rmmod agpart towards the bottom?

Thanks

Yes just put it at the bottom of the file and it will be removed every time you boot.

Nope didn't work the AGPGART still loaded and the onboard video was still detected.

Thanks

I think unless I can remove the onboard video (which I cannot) or get my HD installed Knoppix 3.3 to stop detecting the onboard video I won't be able to get my GForce 4 card to work properly.
