Hmm, strange - I've device agp in my kernel, and I can kldload mga just fine after I've booted (I haven't tried unloading yet). Also I seem to remember kldloading agp, then mga. Maybe you meant kldloading mga first, then agp? > OTOH, if the modules are loaded **at boot time**, the kernel recognizes my > card and everything appears to work correctly (at 16bpp, though). I think the modules are then loaded, and only later initialized; with kldload they are initialized immediately. --Stijn -- I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence.
