Is the bios supposed to initialize the AGP registers?
I'm trying to get AGP working for EPIA-M. I'm wondering if linux itself takes care of everything or whether the bios has to initialize some stuff.

which version of linuxbios? V2?
These are the northbridge agp registers? I thought we maybe did that. Ollie?

The only thing we have to do in LinuxBIOS is allocate MEM resource for AGP aperature and set the size information in the northbridge resigters. It is done in K8 but I have no idea if it is done for the EPIA.
The linux apg driver does almost everything we need to actually use the agp controller (like setting gart table, 2X v.s. 4X etc.)
