Michel, FYI, PCI GART is a feature of the video chipset, not the host bridge, and so is not directly related to the kernel (there's no generic PCI GART driver like there is an AGP GART driver). AFAIK, the only PCI GART implementation so far is for rage 128 (or derived, like the M3), and is available in the "ati-pcigart-0-0-1-branch" DRI CVS branch. You need to compile the DRM inside this X server version, not the kernel one.
Ben.
