On the subject of nVidia cards, is the NVAGP driver better than AGPGART?
The kernel loads agpgart:

Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 564M
agpgart: Detected Via Apollo Pro KT133 chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 4M @ 0xe7800000

instead of loading NVAGP:

NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!!

Do I need to correct this, and if so, how do I disable agpgart?

Thanks,
