AGP440

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

SUMMARY

This is an AGP chipset driver sample that shows how to write an AGP driver. The sample works as a driver for the Intel® 440LX/BX® chipset. Since the hardware that it drives is Intel-specific, the sample does not work on Alpha platforms. Also, currently there is no corresponding hardware for any 64-bit platform.

BUILDING THE SAMPLE

The sample is built with the standard DDK BUILD utility in the standard checked or free DDK build environment. Simply type build from the \\Ntddk\Src\Kernel\Agp\Agp440 directory. A successful build produces Agp440.sys.

An installation file, Agp440.inf, is provided. Install Agp440.sys by creating an installation directory containing the Agp440.sys binary and Agp440.inf.

In the .inf file, change the names and PCI IDs as necessary for your setup. Then, go into Device Manager and right-click on the PCI-PCI bridge that represents your AGP bridge. Select Properties. Then select the Driver tab and click the Update Driver button. Follow the prompts in the Update Driver wizard. On the Locate Driver Files page, select Specify a Location, and enter the location of your .inf and driver.
