Recompile your kernel and enable "/dev/agpart (AGP Support)" under the 
"Character devices" section.  This should fix the problem :)

I'm myself running XFree 4.0.1 Mandrake 7.2beta3 on a card with the NVidia 
GeForce2 chipset (asus v7700) and using the NVidia kernel and GLX drivers, 
and I get better results here with Quake3 and Heavy Gear2 then I get when I 
boot into windows and try there (with the latest NVidia windows drivers).
