Hi!
The latest sources and rpm's for the NVIDIA chips can be found at
http://www.nvidia.com/Products/Drivers.nsf/Linux.html
Also read Appendix F of the
http://www.nvidia.com/Products/OpenLinuxDwn.nsf/09769readmefaq found there.
It deals with AGP configuration, and may be helpful to you!
Cheers,
Robert
