The issue I've seen is reproducable like so:
1) boot linux box
2) enable use of kernel AGPGART (not internal nvidia AGPGART code) in
XF86Config (load agpgart kernel module if needed)
3) Start X
4) Leave X
5) enable use of internal nvidia AGPGART code in XF86Config
6) Start X
7) choke.  have to log in from remote box to reboot.

(2) and (5) imply changing the value of the option NvAgp in XF86Config.

Why it chokes, I don't know.  Maybe it has something to do with the AMD
AGP issue you quoted and the "inadvertant trashing of AGP memory".
Does anyone else know more about this[1]?  Perhaps the NV guys on the
list?  How does this problem manifest itself?  Segfaults?  System
lockups?

Ciao.
