I have agpgart compiled into my kernel and it works fine. Works better than with the NVidia nvagp. However I have a Geforce II GTS, and it took a few tests. Suggest you compile agpart as a module, then experiment with using agpart and nvagp (Option "NvAGP" 0,1, or 2 I believe). I have a Via Apollo Pro KT133 chipset and 4x works fine, but the above poster is correct there have been problems reported. -- Kevin C.
