Re: [Xen-devel] Domain 0 hardware problem with nForce2 AGP?

[Mark A. W. <mar...@cl...>]

We don't support agpgart at the moment.

IIRC, the agpgart driver needs to write to some PCI config-space registers, 
which Xen currently disallows.  The output you've posted suggests it also 
needs to see some special bridges too.  Xen hides bridge devices from dom0 
because for all other purposes, it's not necessary to reveal them.

It may not be too hard to get arggart working (although it's unlikely to 
happen for 2.0).  If you (or anyone else) is interested in playing around 
with this, we'd provide support.  It seems likely that someone here will get 
round to implementing this eventually though...
