Hmm, it seems a bit odd that agp should be disabled, but I wouldn't expect
that to stop it working althogether, just cause a bit of a slowdown.
You might like to try changing nv back to nvidia and starting X again. you should be able to check the X log file which is usually in /var/log/xorg.log (or thereabouts). There may be some failure messages that point to the problem that the nvidia drivers are having

It's a e-GeForce FX 5700LE, 256MB DDR AGP
in my xorg.conf, I notice that the line Boardname is "Unknown Board".
Does that matter, or is it just informational?
Thanks
I'm sure you've already checked this, but you do have the nvidia kernel
module loaded correctly don't you? check the output of lsmod if you're
not sure.
Also, there should be some messages in dmesg when the driver loads (try
'dmesg |grep -i nvidia') and also about agpgart, I think these appear
when
Xorg starts (dmesg|grep -i agpgart)
Also, you can check the contents of /proc/driver/nvidia/ once the module
has been loaded - it should give you some info about what type of card
it
thinks you have and whether or not AGP is working and what method it is
using,etc ,etc.
