Nvidia's NvAGP and AGPGART.

Is AGPGART turned off by default or do I need to make sure some module doesn't load and/or put something in my xorg.conf to allow NvAGP to work?

Re: Nvidia's NvAGP and AGPGART.

if this is AGP card then AGP is on, if this is PCI then AGP is off

tuning AGP in xorg.conf
------Section "Device"------
Option "NvAgp" "0"  ... disables AGP support
Option "NvAgp" "1"  ... use NVAGP, if possible
Option "NvAgp" "2"  ... use AGPGART, if possible
Option "NvAGP" "3"  ... try AGPGART; if that fails, try NVAGP (default)

options in modprobe
options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 Nvreg_ReqAGPRate=4
