It looks like you are having an issue with the agpgart (agp) stuff,
during the install Mandrake loads a kernel driver based on the chipset
it detects, by commenting out what Mandrake detected and loads I was
able to get the nvidia agp driver to load.
I just check my /etc/rc.sysinit using vi, in my script the entry was at
line 796 here is what it looks like:
# Load agpgart here. This is a hack, and will probably go away soon.
#if grep "driver: agpgart" /etc/sysconfig/hwconf >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
# modprobe agpgart >/dev/null 2>&1
#fi
I had to add # to the last three lines, and I hate to say this but
rebooting the system will be a lot easier than trying to stop and
restart services.
Be warned, if you upgrade your scripts any changes you makes to this
file will be overwritten.
Since you indicated that you followed the Nvidia instructions, I am
guessing you made the edits to XF86Config-4 to add glx and change the
chipset from nv to nvidia. Also you checked to make sure none of the
other gl stuff (mesa) is conflicting with glx. There used be a good
writeup on mandrakeuser.org about setting up nvidia cards, but since the
site changed I no longer have the link to refer you to.
Good Luck
