Working on 2.4.12 now, with your patches you mentioned on cooker and
nVidia patches.  Haven't looked at AGP yet but I will.  I'm trying to get
something in to Juan/Chmouel to get us in the loop for 2.4.12 before it
all changes on me again.  Unfortunately the build takes a loong time
on the hardware I've got access to.
