Have you guys looked at the nvidia site? They have 'drivers' (i.e., kernel modules) for their motherboard chipsets as well as their video cards. Perhaps that's what you both need. I know that nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx exist in Portage for the video cards, but that's not of much

You'll get there. Search out the real name of the AMD agp-gart driver if you haven't already. Under dev drvrs-ATA support-AMD and nVidia IDE support * Click help to find it's called CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX. I wanted to compile it in so DMA would come alive at boot. I must have done something
