I noticed that he had the same problems:

1) An AGP slot on the motherboard with an AGP card in it.
2) Xorg hung for no apparent reason.

Foregoing Whitehorn's advice of not building agp.ko, I built it.

After I installed the module, loaded it, and kldloaded it. The AGP card as then recognized.
It can be unloaded after. Logic boards with AGP must have this module loaded at least once.

This problem only seems to exist on certain models of PowerMac G4 with an agp slot.


B) GCC is behind.

No, I don't care who likes this next part or any of this email. You can toss it and block me.

GCC for freebsd powerpc is way behind. I am following a howto plus converting deb to tar.gz packages right now. Is this necessary?
