Thanks everyone for your help. After all I managed to get X working. Hurray! Allthough I am not sure if it's running properly. See 2 questions below. At first X didn't run neither with the XFree open source driver nor with the drivers supplied by Nvidia. I think I finally got it running after I ajusted the AGP settings in XF86Config: Section "Device" BoardName "0x0322" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "nvidia" Option "NvAgp" "1" EndSection "NvAgp" "1" did the trick. So my system is using the Nvidia AGP module. I don't understand why X doesn't run when using the regular kernel module AGPGART (i.e. Option "NvAgp" "3", the default setting). Running linux:/home/jeroen # dmesg | grep agp gives: Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 690M agpgart: Detected AMD On-CPU GART chipset agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xd0000000 Running linux:/home/jeroen # lsmod | grep agp gives nothing. 1. Has anyone X running with agpgart using the system setup described below? 2.

I compiled and installed the drivers according the instructions as supplied by nvidia. On my system (suse 9.0, k_deflt 2.4.21.201.x86_64, msi k8t neo fisr, athlon 64 3000, msi geforce fx5200) sax2 shows only a blank screen.
