1 Hi All,
2
3 I just posted a VERY good nvidia troubleshooting guide on our website; it's
4 right under the Install Guide and the Development Guide. It contains some very
5 useful information relating to using NVAGP instead of AGPGART, which apparently
6 very important for Athlon (KT133 and KX133) chipsets. If accelerated video
7 isn't completely stable for you, check it out. I'm about to test out NVAGP
8 myself (I have a KT133 and my machine locks up every few hours if I use
9 accelerated nvidia drivers and AGPGART).
10
11 I also have some new patches for the accelerated nvidia driver that enable
12 devfs support and also get it working under all 2.4 kernels. I'll commit these
13 changes to CVS in a bit and post here when they're available.

15 Best Regards,
