I don't have trouble with OpenGL apps, and I'm running all the Xorg stuff from ports (same version). You know, there was a thread related to this same AGP problem back on 11/30, pretty much throught the first week in December. I was convinced my AGP was working until Kenneth Culver showed me I didn't. There were a number of people that had it working, and several that didn't. I don't think we ever figured out just what the magic sword was. Check the list archives for that thread. Maybe you'll find something I missed. I did have the nvidia drivers compiled without linux support, not sure if that was a factor. Have you read the linux compatability support section in /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README? You might check it out to see if all your i's are dotted. I really hate to say it, but I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. It may be a day or so, but I'll try recompiling my drivers with Linux support and see if that breaks it. Either way I'll let you know. If you figure out what the magic sword is, let the list know. This has come up once or twice in the past, and there's always one or two that just don't get the results they wanted. Good luck.

Re: AGP not working on nForce3
Setting this to 3 tells the driver to try the native AGP first. I had trouble with this, and had to compile the agp device out of my kernel to get it to work right. Notice below that I set NvAGP to 1. For some reason the sysctl var is set to 3 even though I use Option "NvAGP" "1" in xorg.conf. Setting it manually before starting X leaves it at 1, but that doesn't help. Not sure that makes sense to me; maybe I'm forgetting something. How did you compile the drivers? My pkgtools.conf uses the following: 'WITHOUT_LINUX=yes', 'WITH_ACPI=yes', This makes upgrades a little smoother. I've tried WITH_FREEBSD_AGP and the vanilla version. I want linux support enabled, since I play neverwinter nights now and then. That may be why NvAGP overrides to "3". Using "NvAGP" "1", but compiling the drivers with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP should be mutually exclusive. One tells the driver to use the NVidia AGP, the other tells it to use the native FreeBSD AGP. Like I said, you need to pick one. The NVidia AGP is probably the better choice. You mention below that it's already removed from the kernel, but that doesn't make sense if you're getting the agp0: console output. I'm assuming the kernel was rebuilt since that config was commented out, but is that config the one that was used? Yes, I recompiled with just WITH_ACPI, and now it's 1 as default. I even cvsupped world and rebuilt, and now nvidia.ko doesn't try the agp0 stuff. I guess that's progress, but AGP still doesn't work. Then you should definitely not be compiling the drivers with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP. Try recompiling without that config. Linux support is probably not a problem, so don't worry about that. What would the NvAGP "3" option do, then, if it couldn't fall back on nvidia's agp implementation? I supposed it could do both if you built with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP. Oh well, it's gone now.

You might give that a try. Just comment out the agp in your kernel, don't delete it yet - just in case the nvidia agp doesn't like the athlon for some reason. Also, you'll want to make sure your xorg.conf has a good config. I'm using the TwinView feature, so my graphics device section won't necessarily apply fully.

When I load the nvidia drivers, it says: agp0: mem 0xe800-0xefff at device 0.0 on pci0 agp0: Unable to find NVIDIA Memory Controller 1. device_attach: agp0 attach returned 19 nvidia0: mem 0xf000-0xf3ff,0xf400-0xf4ff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED] When I startx, it says NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the AMD CPU and OS kernel NVRM: kernel upgrade recommended. There is no /dev/agp or similar. Having agp enabled or disabled in the kernel or loading agp.ko dynamically makes no difference.
