Perhaps you know if there is a way, short of recompiling the kernel, to suppress the agpgart-related modules? Can you answer these questions:
You mean just prevent the modules from beiing loaded automatically? Yes, of course, just enter
blacklist intel_agp
Excellent. That's almost too easy, but it seems to have done the trick. Clearly I don't need the intel_agp, and that seems like the most likely culprit for the symptom I'm seeing. Does the agpgart module or any of the others you mentioned provide any advantages for a system with an nVidia card (GeForce 7300)? Does it interact with or mutually exclude the nVidia proprietary driver (which I'm not yet running, but did install during pre-release testind and will probably install again at some point)?
in /etc/modprobe.conf.local file. And any other module you want to supress from loading.
The facts I have about symptoms are:
Is there a report in Bugzilla? If no, please enter one. Thanks. I don't know the answer now without investigation.
I'll file one.
Does it work with vanilla 2.6.19? All these patches are from 2.6.19 (I think).
I don't know. I don't know how to find out.
Ok, if you don't know how to compile and install a kernel, it's nothing for you. Currently there's no RPM package for 2.6.19.
I've done it, but my understanding is that SuSE kernels are significantly patched w.r.t. the stock Linux kernels.
