| Is it an ALi chipset? Does it have an agp return.. 6 on boot? Last time I

| otherwise it wouldn't boot (and still doesn't in 5.3-BETA5) unless I used
| safe mode.

| That's not the exact patch I used, but I think it fixes the same problem.
I
| am going to try it later today.

Oopps, sorry about that top post. Just tried the patch, works good still
even though it is different. Still looking forward to seeing it be
submitted into the tree some time. Why hasn't it been merged yet? That bug
report page had a date of Oct 2003, that's nearly a year ago......
