So what you can do is to try and rmmod it before X starts and see if the option 1 forces nvagp. But it is very strange as how you got such a high framerate with agp disabled :( I will run glxgears on my box and come up with my benchmarks, I dont have access to it at the moment. > while: > > Option "NvAGP" "2" (forces X to use AGPGART) > > gives me: > > $ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status > > Status: Enabled > Driver: AGPGART > AGP Rate: 8x > Fast Writes: Disabled > SBA: Enabled > > and framerate of roughly5600 f/sec. lsmod shows that modules nvidia, > nvidia_agp and agpgart are loaded. > I'm using the same XF86Config as with 2.4.20 that used nvidia's AGP. > Any ideas? Let me see what the framerates are for glxgears with various AGP options in my computer, and I will getback to you.
