nForce2 Linux GART Driver

June 23rd 2003 | Drivers

There’s a hefty discussion over at Slashdot on the recently released nForce Linux drivers (1.0-0261, see New Linux nForce Drivers), here’s the comment that kicked off the thread:

Rejoice, Radeon owners! For those of you who bought an nForce2 motherboard with the hopes of doing a bit of linux gaming on it, I’m sure it was a pretty hard let down to find out there was no AGPGART driver for the nForce2 – until now. nVidia has finally released a kernel patch for the 2.4.20 release that is now providing GART support. Perhaps this means that nVidia is re-thinking their closed source-isms in favor of a more open policy in the future. A note on AGP 3.0: Note that AGP 8x mode is not available in 2.4.xx series kernels.
