I assume SuSE has already taken below additional agp patch in Q3 release, right?

Yes. We have provide the patches to them. They should have taken this into their building packages.

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2008-10-29 20:05:47 UTC
Gordon, I've tried several things to address the issue. See

Comment 5 Gordon Jin 2008-10-30 00:47:16 UTC
Stefan, could you elaborate the kernel you are using?
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2008-10-30 01:10:56 UTC
I've tested with 2.6.27.4 kernel (openSUSE 11.1 Beta3). I think I've tested with the agp patch in place, but I need to double check this.

I've built something stupid when rebuilding the intel-agp module with the patch applied. This issue is fixed with the patch. I apologize for creating this confusion.
