I had read this but I read it in a different thread and did not no it was you 
when replying.

First, check /var/log/XFree86.0.log and see if anything is obviously an error 
in there. Second, read /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-<version>/README.gz and 
see if your problem is documented in there. Third, try the nvidia agp driver 
if your using the kernel driver or the reverse if you're not - the readme 
file you just read tells you how. Fourth, try lowering the speed of AGP - 
also documented in the readme file.

My reaction wasn't one of anger, just of mild frustration. I can't see how 
changing the name and location of the nvidia module, especially if you know 
the kernel is loading it, could possibly help to fix your problem. Unless 
there's a clear logical train of thought behind what you're trying then it 
seems to be pretty random.

Try what I mentioned above and if it doesn't work, then reply back with the 
symptoms and any error messages you can find. However, if you do so, make 
sure to do it in the right thread or repost the details or reference the 
earlier thread.

Jason
