The NVIDIA FAQ says this: "Currently internally supported chipsets
include: Intel 440LX, 440BX, 440GX, 815, 820, and 840. AMD Irongate, VIA
Apollo Pro133, KX133 and KT133. More chipsets may be supported through the
use of AGPGART."
So internally the driver provided by NVIDIA does not need the agpgart
driver for AGP.
If your getting "unresolved symbol" errors from the module it hasn't been
built correctly. Try a newer version of the kernel from Mandrake, like
2.2.17-2mdk.
Or try getting the driver source and building it yourself. (to confirm
it's indeed not a HW problem).
