Hi

according to the following page there is a problem with highmemory support and certain intel graphic cards which also affects me. I read the page so I downloaded linux-2.6.31-rc1.tar.bz2 from kernel.org then I did the following

# cd /usr/src/

# tar -xjf linux-2.6.31-rc1.tar.bz2

# cd linux-2.6.31-rc1

# make menuconfig

I navigated to "Device Drivers ---> Graphics Support ---> Support for frame buffer devices ---> " and to " Device Drivers ---> Graphics Support ---> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) ---> " but I can't see any options for

drm/i915: enable GEM on PAE.
agp: switch AGP to use page array instead of unsigned long array

It's a 32 bit intel centrino core 2 processor and the board supports a maximum of 8G RAM. In this article the writer said that there is a problem with server kernels so I will try to compile for a desktop.

I had no success with the desktop kernel. My laptop has been shipped with a 32 bit m$ vista so I don't believe the processor is a 64 bit one.
