XFree 4.3.0 Tentative Schedule

[Marianne Taylor]

Well I am using 2.4.19 with the same chipset (KT400) and the nvidia drivers.  
 I load agp drivers as a module with the following:  
 in my modules.conf  with the following

# For KT400 AGP drivers
options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1
alias /dev/agpgart agpgart

and I have an Geoforce 4 MX400 with the nvidia drivers.  Works really well 
glxgears is in excess of 3000 with max up to 4500 fps.  

You can also do the same with the driver compiled into the kernel by passing 
the above at boot.  I couldn't get this to work with grub -- didn't have the 
right syntax.  

I am using xfree 4.2.1 on my LFS system.
