Brian, I used the rpm's from Livna - kernel-module - nvidia-glx - nvidia-glx-devel,/etc/modules.conf only contains the 'alias char-major-195 nvidia' and not the 'options'. If your GeForce is modest,On Wed, 2004-02-18 at 10:54 +1000, david walcroft wrote:
Hi,
Can someone tell me what this means from dmesg,I put an "Option AGPPART 3" in XF86Config and I wonder which AGP the card is using.
Is it using nvagp or the kernel agpgart,is there anything I need to do.

Maybe seeing what Nvidia installed for me (successfully) will help:
/etc/modules.conf: alias char-major-195 nvidia options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 NVreg_ReqAGPRate=7
My equipment here is a modest nvidia GeForce 4 MX. I just used the base installer, and the default installer right off the Nvidia website...not the beta-test RPM.
If you need more, let me know...it's not a perfect install, but Nvidia really works well once it's installed. The biggest problem seems to be in merely following the rules, and not thinking too hard.

my Riva TNT2 is below the water line! IIRC the options line is default to GeForce cards,I'll try it and see,if not ,more hunting at nvidia NG's
Thanks david
