Are you loading both the agpgart.ko and the relevant chipset driver ? agp-intel.ko agp-amd-k7.ko etc ? (This btw, is yet another reason we chose to build agpgart in, to avoid end-user confusion). > In forum after forum, I see many people screaming at NVIDIA for this. > But I don't see how it's NVIDIA's fault that the Fedora agpgart module > doesn't work, when it does as a kernel bundle.

Believe me, it works just fine. If there was something as fundamentally broken as you state it is, I'd be getting a lot more bug reports. Yours is the only one I've seen suggesting any different.
