Did you know you can force the Nvidia drivers to use the kernel agpgart?
Just add Option "NvAgp" "2" to your screen stanza, and be sure to load the
agpgart module *before* starting X. :) Since you are disabling AGP, you
likely already have this option there, set to "0". BTW, you can also force
NVIDIA's driver to be used with "NvAgp" "1".
You can verify it's using agpgart by 'cat'ing /proc/nv/card0. The line AGP
driver will say agpgart if its using that, and nvidia if its using their
bulitin drivers.
A old K7M with a Geforce 2 MX has been working fine using agpgart.
