Thanks for the info I'll look into it. For me, the problem is FC builds their kernels with agpgart built in, instead of as a module (I don't know why, maybe a good reason). For me, I am trying to get suspend working with the nvidia graphics drivers (see a previous post from me) which MAY require me to use the nvidia AGP driver instead of agpgart. At the moment I am just experimenting. If there is no good reason why agpgart is built in not a module, maybe this could be changed ? Chris
