cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp == DISABLED (NO SOLVE NO WORRY)

just like the title says, proc registers my AGP as disabled

it was working fine, and I still get good 3d performance, so really, I'm wondering if this is a real problem, or a glitch somewhere

I was experimenting with nitro sources and mm sources for a bit when this happened, could that have anything to do with it?

any help would be appreciated, read my sig for current system specs

You're checking the NVIDIA AGP module, which is probably disabled. You're likely using the AGPGART kernel module right now. Check the Readme.txt on the Nvidia site to see if your motherboard supports the NVIDIA AGP driver. If it does, remove AGPGART from your kernel and enable it in the Nvidia section of your xorg.conf file by adding a line that looks like this:

I was never using agpgart

it's not in as a module or otherwise, but nvagp is not enabling it either. It still works, so could this just be a minor bug? A simple irritation?

Are you checking it in X or at a console? At a console, it will always say disabled.

I X, or console, it says disabled

I don't understand it, but it still works either way

just annoying to have it say disabled

what does glxinfo | grep rendering say? if you have direct rendering, my advice is not to worry about it (probably a compiled as module/ not as module issue with some driver).
