What distribution? I think people using the latest released Red Hat
kernel should also be fine, because Red Hat back-ports anything
significant like that. (The latest Red Hat kernel in Rawhide is
2.4.22-based, the latest released kernel is 2.4.20-based, but like I
said, they back-port all the goodies.)

I'm using AGPGART without problems at the moment, but I'm going to try
switching to NvAGP a bit later...
