deal,

My thinkpad x200's X.server can not startup on the kernel 2.6.28,
and dmesg will show as below:
-->>--

Then, I change file "drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.c" as this:
-->>--

- size = 4;
+ /* size = 4; */

} else {

--<<--

And Xorg can start now.
(1) Is it correct ?
Because older kernel use size as "512 + 4" at here, but now use "size = 4".
(2) How to deal with it if the patch is not right ?
(3) How to get more specification about gm4500 ?
