I'm actually having the same problem, but after I took out device agp out

It complains that /dev/nvidiactl couldn't be opened. And then it says it
failed to load the kernel module.

It seems that the graphics card is not detected.  Does
'pciconf -l | grep nvidia'

show anything?

What model is it? If it is an older card, you may need the older version of the NVIDIA driver.

sysctl -a | grep nvidia

For comparison, here is my output. Note that there are card specific entries.

It seems the driver is attached:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x00f910de rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00

its a 6800 GT. From BFG.  I am on CURRENT. And xorg 6.9.0

Driver section from Xorg?

Also, this could be an issue with some changes to the kernel interfaces for AGP / PCI-express, video, ABI, etc.. -CURRENT can be problematic sometimes and something may have gotten broken after an update.

You may want to take this question up on the -current@ list though.
