On my 5.3 system (recompiled completely, including ports, one week ago), the NVidia driver (for a GeForce MX 400) from ports doesn't seem to be using AGP:
$ sysctl hw.nvidia.agp.status.status
hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: disabled
I've built a new kernel with "device agp" commented out, and kldstat verifies
that it's not loaded. I set 'Option "NvAGP" "1"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I've read all of the READMEs that seemed relevant. Still, I seem to be
running in PCI mode and display updates are painfully slow and CPU-intensive.
I'm running out of things to check. Any idea what combination of settings
would result in a system where the display seems to run correctly, but is
much slower than expected?
