What did you set for the NvAGP option in the X config file?

I'm not sure, but maybe

Code:
echo 1 > /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status


? I don't know for sure, that's just a wild guess.

Here's the whole section:
Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NickVidCard"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VideoRam    262144
    Option  "NvAGP" "1"
    Option "IgnoreEDID" "false"
    Option "UseEdidFreqs" "true"
    Option "RenderAccel" "true"
EndSection


Cheers!

Nick

Try Option "NvAgp" "3" and make sure you've compiled agpgart (and your chipset's AGP support) as a module.
