[Openchrome-users] Failed to initialize DMA ring-buffer

[Chad Kline]

If I select Option "EnableAGPDMA" "off" in Xorg, the error disappears, but I am unsure if that is a good option to turn off.
Anyway, thanks for working on this driver.  I have many of these VIA boards, and will be using them for many years to come.
