char-major-195 is a reserved kernel major number for the video device.
The kernel will see this alias entry and know to load the nvidia module
name you specify there. The config I supplied is from a FC6 install, so
it may use a different module naming scheme. You may not need the
"-1_0-9755". Depending on how you installed the driver, you can
probably get away with just trimming those entries down to say
"nvidia". What really matters is the options line that passes the
parameters to the driver when it gets loaded.
Cheers,
Mark

Not sure why your GPU is detected as unknown, but as far as the AGP
settings, you can do the following in your modprobe.conf or equivalent:
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-9755
What is char-major-195?
alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-9755
options nvidia-1_0-9755 NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
NVreg_ReqAGPRate=4
Probably have to update the 9755 to whatever your current version
is. See if that helps you at all.
