nothingtoseehere Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I am running 10.4.8 with the 8.8.1 kernel from the "MacOSX_10.4.8DVD AMD SSE3 TEST 1" ISO. My hardware: ASROCK 939 Dual SATA2 with AMD X2 3800 and an EVGA Nvidia 7800GS AGP card installed. After default install, I get QE and CI enabled but no AGP. The card is shown as PCI in the system profiler. My Xbench scores are pretty bad, so I think it is hurting on bandwidth. Has anyone gotten AGP working on this board? AGPGart 2 appears to be installed but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Titan sees the card and supports it. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberto2806 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have almost the same problem. I can't find any information about enabling agp on nVidia cards. Starnge! I hope somebody can write something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvanaguy19 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have a uli 1689 (similar to 1695) motherbaord (gigabyte k8u), I installed agp gart (amd 64 version) and my card (radeon 9800 pro) is recognized as agp now (no qi/ce though :censored2: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingtoseehere Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 I wonder if my lack of AGP support is a result of a failure in card support, or a failure in motherboard support? What normally handles AGP support? AGPGart, Titan, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingtoseehere Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 I discovered this by accident while working on the no AGP problem. With Xbench running in the foreground I get this: Results 35.41 System Info Xbench Version 1.3 System Version 10.4.8 (8L2127) Physical RAM 1024 MB Model ACPI Drive Type ST3300622AS Quartz Graphics Test 29.40 Line 36.05 2.40 Klines/sec [50% alpha] Rectangle 14.58 4.35 Krects/sec [50% alpha] Circle 22.17 1.81 Kcircles/sec [50% alpha] Bezier 71.02 1.79 Kbeziers/sec [50% alpha] Text 68.71 4.30 Kchars/sec OpenGL Graphics Test 61.54 Spinning Squares 61.54 78.07 frames/sec User Interface Test 29.02 Elements 29.02 133.17 refresh/sec With it running in the background (with Safari open on top of it) I get this: Results 90.95 System Info Xbench Version 1.3 System Version 10.4.8 (8L2127) Physical RAM 1024 MB Model ACPI Drive Type ST3300622AS Quartz Graphics Test 127.65 Line 70.29 4.68 Klines/sec [50% alpha] Rectangle 140.29 41.88 Krects/sec [50% alpha] Circle 132.70 10.82 Kcircles/sec [50% alpha] Bezier 116.52 2.94 Kbeziers/sec [50% alpha] Text 588.86 36.84 Kchars/sec OpenGL Graphics Test 58.41 Spinning Squares 58.41 74.10 frames/sec User Interface Test 124.50 Elements 124.50 571.37 refresh/sec It is running almost 3 times as fast when it doesn't have the foreground focus. Does that strike anyone else as wierd? Also, I tried adding the line "<string>pci10B9,5246</string>" into the Info.plist in AGPGart with no effect. I got the numbers for that from the ULI AGP entry in Windows under the device manager. Is there somewhere else I should look for the numbers to go there, or is this not even used anymore? Thanks!

mathdude1284 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 xbench is reading it that fast becuase it doesnt actually have to "draw" anything onto the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolki Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 quixcube, we share the same problem. I know that Joblo (AGPGart developer) has recently added support to Asrock Dual sata 939. Please try the latest version of AGPGart 2.1u2 from Joblo, and shere with your results link: http://x86dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=23.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingtoseehere Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks for following up on this. I downloaded 2.1 from the link in the first post at http://x86dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=23.0 and it still isn't working. How can I verify it is 2.1u? With it, I get the following message: Nov 24 14:51:56 localhost kernel[0]: AGP: Did not find AGP Bridge I don't know what will be most useful, so I am going to paste in more than necessary probably. Sorry! (BTW, the ethernet driver it loads is not the onboard one. It is an add-in.) Please let me know what I can do to help out with the testing. I would love to help get this working.

Kolki Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Few hours ago I've reinstalled my osx (10.4.3) for testing purposes next step was to install AGPGart u2 (kext copied to Extensins folder + repaired permissions and cleaned cache) I have the same message: Nov 25 02:20:17 localhost kernel[0]: AGP: Did not find AGP Bridge (see added system log) It looks like we are not there yet. systemlog.rtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
