I always used agpgart without a second thought (2.4.29, GeForce4 MX with Via KT133 chipset). I just read through the nVidia readme file, and there is a comprehensive section on what module to use for what chipset (and card). It recommends using the nVagp for my setup, so I just rebuilt excluding agpgart so I can use the nVdia module. I never had slowness as such in KDE or X apps, but playing quake2 openGL I used to get a 'wave' type effect rippling down the screen occasionally. A quick test using the nVagp module to have fixed that... I will test for a few weeks.
