Don't know if this helps for your situation (not sure it did for mine), but 
you might try:  Option   "NvAGP"   "<integer>"
where 0: Disable, 1: NVIDIA internal AGP support if possible,  2: Use AGPGART 
if possible or  3: Use any AGP (try AGPGART then the NVIDIA AGP).  There is a 
good .pdf at NVidia's site regarding their linux drivers, installation and 
other options.  www.nividia.com   BTW, I'm using a Verto Titanium Series 
GeForce2 Ti, 64MB DDR RAM from PNY.  Their drivers (Nvidia's) installed 
flawlessy by their instructions and it works great.......not super stable, 
but I can play games now that would never work before for me: HG2, 
Heretic2,etc.  However I can't get Shogo to run.  Keep getting SDL Parachute 
deployed error.....whatever the heck that is!   
Good luck!
