<hehe!!> We're in this one together buddy! I managed to buy one of
those motherboards today from NewEgg. I'll be building the machine
next week.

Here's my guess. If you look at 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 the NVidia AGP
support clearly says Nforce/Nforce2. My suspicion is that the AGP
chipset support for this chipset (NForce4) isn't in the kernel yet and
that we need to find a patch, or possibly look at a kernel.org kernel
for like 2.6.13/14/15, etc. and find one that does.

Assuming that there isn't a patch then we get in line with the kernel
developers and work to get one done. I had this problem with my laptop
when I first got it and couldn't get DMA for the ATI cipset. It took
between 30 and 60 days as I remember.

Anyway, I bought one today so I'm in the life raft with ya!

Cheers,
Mark
