That's because you are using Xfree's AGP instead of nvidia's.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "nVidia_GeForce4_TI4200"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
# BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Monitor "HYUNDAI"
DefaultDepth 16
Look for the above section in /etc/X11/XF86Config
"NvAGP" "1" =nvidia AGP(nvgart)
"NvAGP" "2" = xfree AGP (AGPGART)
"NvAGP" "3" = try nvgart first, if it doesn't work, use AGPGART
I believe that if AGPGART is compiled in, nvgart won't work. If it's a
module, you should get nvgart buy changing the line:
Option "NvAGP" "x "
to:
Option "NvAGP" "1 "
or :
Option "NvAGP" "3"
