Comment 97 for bug 33617

Where is the consensus being questioned? AGP is often so broken on savage cards (especially if you use hibernation and sleep) so forcing all savage cards to PCI would be a good thing IMHO. Even better, it should default to PCI and let people experiment with AGP if they want and know how.

I have been fighting and reporting AGP trouble for like 4 years now (ever since DRI was available) and given the age of these cards and the developer interest I don't have high hopes for seeing it fixed. I would not be surprised if there's a hardware bug in them, also XP was unstable the short time I ran it on my laptop (with Savage TwisterK).
