AGP enable?

[baliboy]

I have no real problems, was just wondering why I have an AGP video card (Trident 9750, 4 meg), and it comes up as not enabled by various software. I have an ASUS CUBX-E and the only BIOS setting for AGP is set at AGP. Any comments?

hmm probably its a PCI-AGP card (like the voodoo 3 series) they are PCI cards but just use the AGP interface without actually using the added AGP functions (like sideband adressing and DMA)

That's exactly what it is, it says that it is a PCI/AGP card. Does this mean that it just fits in the AGP slot and is not really capable of utilizing AGP? Thanks for the response.

I think that that is the case ... as long as it doesnt give errors and works okay ... you shouldnt worry about it ...
if it gives errors however you might need to disable AGP sidebanding settings etc because the card does not utilise these functions anyway I think (i really dunno much about that card .. but as far as I know it does not use them ..)

Not sure if there is a way to disable them but thanks for the tips.
