I've attached a small patch for Configure.help and Config.in which I'm
hoping to have applied to the Linux kernel... I'm sending it to you
because you're listed for CONFIG.HELP in the MAINTAINERS file. If
you're not the appropriate person, please let me know.
Anyway, here's the scoop. Kernel version prior to 2.4.0-test2 did not
directly support the i840 chipset in the agpgart driver, although it
was possible to use it via the generic routines (using the parameter
"agp_try_unsupported=1"). 2.4.0-test2 explicitly supports the chipset
when CONFIG_AGP_INTEL is defined, but the description during
configuration indicates only the i440LX/BX/GX chipsets. My patch just
updates the description to indicate that i840 is supported.
It was generated against 2.4.0-test2.
Thanx!
