is the module "NVdriver" loaded into the kernel (not xfree) ?
Yes, I checked it with lsmod.
are you using the linux-own agpgart support or the one from nvidia ?
Dunno. How do I find out? Which one is the right one, and where might I get it?

You can check the settings your nvidia card is using by
cat /proc/nv/card0 (or whatever number your card is in your system)
my system reports
----- Driver Info ----- NVRM Version: 1.0-1251 ------ Card Info ------ Model: GeForce2 GTS IRQ: 11 ------ AGP Info ------- AGP status: Enabled AGP Driver: NVIDIA Bridge: Via Apollo Pro KT133 SBA: Supported [disabled] FW: Unsupported [disabled] Rates: 4x 2x 1x [4x] Registers: 0x1f000207:0x00000104
And I get 2800+ fps with gears at 1600x1200 at 16 bits colour depth
I get only about 600. My card0 yields:
----- Driver Info ----- NVRM Version: 1.0-1251 ------ Card Info ------ Model: Riva TNT2 Ultra IRQ: 9 ------ AGP Info ------- AGP status: Enabled AGP Driver: AGPGART Bridge: Via Apollo Pro KT133 SBA: Supported [disabled] FW: Unsupported [disabled] Rates: 4x 2x 1x [4x] Registers: 0x1f000207:0x00000104
There's the obvious difference that my AGP driver is AGPART, not NVIDIA. But:
pwa@suillus:/proc/nv > rpm -qa | grep NV NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251 NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-0 pwa@suillus:/proc/nv > rpm -qa | grep AGP pwa@suillus:/proc/nv > rpm -qa | grep agp pwa@suillus:/proc/nv >
andjoh@samantha:~ > rpm -qa|grep NV NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-0 NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-0 There are two issues I can think of off hand. One is to make sure you're using nvidia's agp handler. The other is that you're using different module versions for X and the kernel. The readme expressly says that this won't work. This could very well be the problem.
So it does look as though the correct NV files are there. And here are the relevant parts of my XF86Config file (uninteresting stuff elided):
Section "Module" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "speedo" Load "extmod" Load "glx" EndSection
Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection
Section "Device" BoardName "RIVA TNT2 Model 64" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 VendorName "Nvidia" Videoram 32768 Option "backingstore" EndSection
Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection
I've tried inserting an NVagp option with various values, but it had no effect.
