(i know that it's not exactly the same problem, but can help...)
in the README of official drivers says that nvidia has conflicts with agpgart
and nvagp,
when i was using ubuntu, when nvidia,agpgart & nvagp loaded, the whole system
hanged after a second startx.
right now in gentoo i got agpgart loaded but it seems being not used and have
no problems:
"To use the Linux AGPGART module, it will need to be compiled with
your kernel, either statically linked in, or built as a module.
NVIDIA AGP support cannot be used if AGPGART is loaded in the kernel.
It is recommended that you compile AGPGART as a module and make sure that
it is not loaded when trying to use NVIDIA AGP."
there's some options for nvidia all in the README, so you can try with the
official drivers:
Option "NvAGP" "integer"
Configure AGP support. Integer argument can be one of:
0 : disable agp
1 : use NVIDIA's internal AGP support, if possible
2 : use AGPGART, if possible
3 : use any agp support (try AGPGART, then NVIDIA's AGP)
Please note that NVIDIA's internal AGP support cannot
work if AGPGART is either statically compiled into your
kernel or is built as a module, but loaded into your
kernel (some distributions load AGPGART into the kernel
at boot up). Default: 3 (the default was 1 until after
1.0-1251).
