Hello, This is a question out of ignorance. ;-( I had big troubles after installation of the NVidia 4496 driver (black screens). After a lot of trial and error, I have found out that disabling AGP (Option "NvAGP" "0") solved the black-screen problem. So far so good, but now I still have the problem of multicoloured garbled screens when going from X to a console with CTRL-ALT-F1 .. F2 .. etc. Now I'm wondering if disabling AGP could have something to do with it, but I can't enable it (I will get the black screens again). In the Nvidia README, I saw a paragraph on AGP which says : --- QUOTE -------------- To use the Linux AGPGART module, it will need to be compiled with your kernel, either statically linked in, or built as a module. NVIDIA AGP support cannot be used if AGPGART is loaded in the kernel. It's recommended that you compile AGPGART as a module and make sure that it is not loaded when trying to use NVIDIA AGP. --- UNQUOTE ------------- My question is : How can I check if AGPGART is compiled as a module in my standard SuSE 8.2, and how can I make sure that it is not loaded (and how can I see whether it is loaded or not) ? Again, I realize that I probably should know this, but I don't ! Thanks in advance for enlightening me. Cheers, -- Jan Elders Nuenen the Netherlands
