hi all,

i have read through the forums and am unable to find anything similar to what i am experiencing. i know the nvagp option must be set to use agpgart when using a mobo w/ k8t800 chipset, and have compiled this as a module which is loaded at boot. check out the following snips - i removed extraneous/redundant details:

Code:

neptune ~ # cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status:          Disabled

AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput 
of the 'dmesg' command and/or your system log file
for additional information on this problem.

what am i missing? this is a brand new system and the second install since sunday. the first time around, i had agp reporting enabled, but hosed up my install somehow - breaking python and gcc in one go. i have missed something this time around, and would really like someone to point it out if they could. i still don't really understand the k8t800/nvidia conflict thing either. the last system i ran wouldn't load nvidia if agpgart was present, now it's necessary? what gives? tuxracer runs like a champ and 2d looks fantastic. i really can't tell what's going on here.

much appreciation to anyone that can help out.
