Another thing you can try is CAREFULLY :) reading the file os-registry.c which
comes with the nvidia kernel tarball. nvidia's own install file is incorrect
when it comes to certain cards, including mine, the tnt2 m64. The m64 readme
that comes with the kernel tarball itself is also bullshit. I had to read the
actual developer notes inside os-registry.c and work out what I needed to
change to get my card to work. All the AGP settings are set in that file. My
AGP did not give me grief, so I don't know exactly how to help you, so read and
potentially edit that file and see how it goes.
