You may have problems getting AGPGART to compile as a module, and my |
| 20 |
experience has been that its just as well to use the kernel's AGPGART for |
| 21 |
recent kernels. |

There are several places you should be looking. |
| 25 |
First of all, be sure and read the NVIDIA driver README, particularly the |
| 26 |
Troubleshooting section. Get familiar with /proc/drivers/nvidia |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
grep for NVIDIA in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. See anything interesting? |
| 29 |
try dmesg and see if it says anything about agpgart. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
By the way, did you emerge nvidia-glx? |
