I just recompiled the Linux kernel, eliminating agp support from "character devices" in the configuration. Now I, like you, get NVIDIA rather than AGPART as the AGP driver. And that doesn't solve the problem.
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.
Could be. Maybe there's something I'm missing about the NVidia kernel files. They come in three forms from the NVidia website:
317298 May 21 14:16 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251.src.rpm 1405550 May 21 12:50 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251.suse71.i386.rpm 315616 May 28 21:45 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251.tar.gz
As I remember, I used the source files and did a "make" because the NVidia rpm was for kernel 2.4.0 and I was running 2.4.4. I think I tried the other files earlier but something went wrong with them.
OK, I've deleted the 1251 kernel package.
