if your kernel has not been set to NOT use agp it will use AGPART
whatever you add to NVAGP in the xorg.conf. For NVAGP to work you
need to add AGP=off to your kernel paramters. Doing this will
change the driver in cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status to:<br>
<br>
Status: Enabled<br>
Driver: NVidia<br>

grub.conf) then AGPGART will be enabled at boot and NVAGP will not be able to load. The net result is that neither will be used by the nvidia driver.<br><br>I personally am on FC5 and use Option "NVAGP" "3". Everything being default otherwise the nvidia driver will be using AGPGART but if I add the kernel parameter "agp=off" then NVAGP will be used. I have not noticed a significant difference with my FX5200 card either way.
