Which reminds me, anyone else having problems with the minion.de stuff?
It used to work with 2.6 without tweaking, but broke some time
ago. It looks AGP related, if I actually disable AGP support (or enable
NVAGP which doesn't get enabled due to agpgart being statically in the
kernel) it works with a performance hit. I think it actually used
NVAGP when it did work with 2.6...
With agpgart I get a messed up text screen (fixable by setfont) and X
consuming 99% CPU with
