Haig, already on holiday ? TD is running !

[MK]

Hello Haig,


at first I flashed the new bios (1.3-22), but that brought no improvement. Then I had the idea to decrease the texture size once more to 0.25. And voilà the techdemo is running !

I don`t know what it looks like with 1.0-textures, but it impressed me quite much. Now what you see here is a complete satisfied G400 owner. :-))).

But I have two more questions: Am I right it`s normal, that the G400 shares the "memory-area" with the AGP-controller ? And the second is: pcilist reports, that I only have AGP 1x transfers. So I used the murc-registry hack to force 2x. After reboot pcilist still reports AGP 1x transfers. Is that normal ??


Greetings and thanks for your help

Hi MK,

Counting the days for my hols

"Am I right it`s normal, that the G400 shares the "memory-area" with the AGP-controller ?"

Yes.

"pcilist reports, that I only have AGP 1x transfers. So I used the murc-registry hack to force 2x. After reboot pcilist still reports AGP 1x transfers. Is that normal ??"

Not normal unless that reg hack has the AGP test enabled.

You should put the AGPFallback to 0. This won't run any AGP tests on boot up.

What settings are in that hack anyway?

You may need to edit the reg hack to get it to work. Right click on the hack you want and select edit. Change the '0001' to '0000' save it and try it, you should get 2X now.

Hello everybody!


Haig - How can I put up the "AGPFallback" to 0 ? (Sorry if that is a dumb question...) The registry hack "ForceAGP2x" has the following content:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class\Display\0000\Settings\CPU]
"AGPFlags"="-1"


mikehdft - the "0001" you said I should change is already "0000".


Wombat - Yes, I´m running Win`95. But as you can read in my sign, I got the OSR 2.1 which has the USB-supplement included. And my G200 I got before gave me AGP 2x. Strange...

Hi MK,

In the same section as the AGPFlag, add the following string:

AGPFallback 0

MK,
Are you running Windows95? It was never meant to handle AGP. The usbsupp files hack it so that AGP works, but the shared memory is a result of Win95 not completely understanding what it has been made to do.
If you're NOT running Win95, I have no clue.

Hi MK,

goto where the AGPflag setting is.

On the right side, right click and and select "add new string".

Type in AGPFallback, hit enter, 2x click on it and put in the value of 0.

Thanks
