Trying to setup my system to support my nvidia vid card.

Per instructions I am supposed to enable agpgart in the kernel, which is
under device drivers--->
        character devices--->
        --- /dev/agpgart (agp support)

As you can see above my system does not allow anything to be done for
/dev/agpgart, it just has three lines before it.
How do I enable this in the kernel towards getting my nvidia card working?

Please note: if it makes a difference I am running amd64.


you don't set anything else on amd64.

Just agp support.

That is enough.

Rebuild, configure X properly, emerge nvidia-kernel, eselect opengl set nvidia, start X.

Is this "Just agp support" something else other then what the handbook instructions state about /dev/agpgart (agp support)?
As mentioned above that option is not available to me.

                                Thanks
