AGP busmanager for Haiku



Haiku AGP busmanager history:


Since I wrote a 2D driver, and I was also working on a 3D driver, I was very interested in increasing speeds: especially for 3D (framerates). This is why I started on the Haiku AGP busmanager. After version 0.02 (I think) Axel Dörfler added GART support to the manager and adapted it more to also work with Thomas Kürchel's 2D ATI graphics driver.

AGP busmanager 0.02 features:

This basic, generic AGP busmanager supports all AGP hostbridges and all AGP graphicscards. It should work on BeOS R5, Dano, Zeta and Max.

Note please:
This module will only be in effect if a graphicsdriver uses it. In case your card's driver doesn't support it (yet), you can install the optional fake graphicsdriver supplied below. This fake driver should work without interfering with your actual graphicsdriver, whether it controls the module itself or not.
