In the XF86Config-4 file..... NVAgp set to 1 loads the Nvidia agp driver. This often crashes but not always. (Lock up, mouse and kybd are frozen) NVAgp set to 3 (default) loads the kernel agp driver if possible then tries to load the Nvidia agp driver. On my system ,3 does load the kernel agp driver, but crashes (locks up) within a few minutes. Right now I am using the setting NvAgp 0, which disables the agpdrivers. No crashes. > On Friday 20 Sep 2002 3:20 pm, you wrote: > > My system basically works.
