You may have problems getting AGPGART to compile as a module, and my experience has been that its just as well to use the kernel's AGPGART for recent kernels. There are several places you should be looking. First of all, be sure and read the NVIDIA driver README, particularly the Troubleshooting section. Get familiar with /proc/drivers/nvidia grep for NVIDIA in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. See anything interesting? try dmesg and see if it says anything about agpgart. By the way, did you emerge nvidia-glx? -bryan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
