Wrong. From nvidia's readme:
Similar to the NVIDIA Linux Driver Set, the user can decide if the NVIDIA
driver should use its internal AGP GART driver or if it should rely on an
OS provided AGP GART driver with the "NvAGP" XFree86 config file option:
- Option "NvAGP" "0" Disable AGP
- Option "NvAGP" "1" Use NVIDIA's AGP GART Driver
- Option "NvAGP" "2" Use the OS AGP GART driver (agp.ko)
- Option "NvAGP" "3" Attempt "2", fall back to "1"
If you want to use the OS's AGP driver, you'll have NvAGP set to 2,
you have it
set to 0, which means NO agp at all.
<SLAP to the forehead>
I stand corrected. I'll try setting it to 2 when I get home this
evening.

The video on my machine is still fairly responsive with the AGP
turned off as
well, and several games are playable as well, but that doesn't mean
AGP is on.
Your system most definitely has AGP turned off... and I'm willing to
bet that
if you set NvAGP to 2 in order to use the OS's agp, you'd either
crash, or it
just wouldn't work.
I don't think it will crash. IIRC, before I explicitly turned AGP off,
I was getting a message saying that the NVidia AGP was failing, and it
was falling back to the native AGP. I'll try a few different settings,
and I'll rebuild the drivers with the NVidia AGP enabled if the native
driver doesn't work.
The real kicker is that you have to rebuild the darn kernel if you want
to disable the native AGP driver . . . I'll go ahead and do that if the
native AGP winds up not working - no sense building it in if it won't
work, right?
I'll post the result tonight.
Thanks for straightening me out there!
No problem. Sorry if I seemed rude.
Ken
