First of all, my hardwares:

Asus S8V with 1gig of ram (512x2)

That has the nvidia chipset, hasn't it?

After some search (google is your friend) I found that problem is NOT isolated. It had something to do with how AGP is handled with kernel 2.4. So far, I have successfully got nvidia's driver to work by disabling AGP: by adding the following line in my /etc/X11/XF86Config:

Option "NvAGP" "0" # or 1, doesn't matter

By doing this, when X starts I get the nvidia's splash screen. Running glxgear I'll get something like 500FPS, which is pathetic (in comparison, my Athlon XP 2400+ with Ti4200 gets 6500FPS), but still better than then 150FPS of the "nv" driver.

Setting NvAGP to 2 will results in locking up X.

My question is, is there anyway to get AGP/nvidia to work with kernel 2.4? My (limited) understanding is that one has to use amd64_agp instead of AGPGART for nvidia's driver to work, but amd64_agp is a feature that is only

2.4 has an AMD64 AGP driver builtin too, it just has a different name. You could try the latest 9.0 update kernel, it had a few AGP fixes.

available in kernel 2.6. I have tried to compile kernel 2.6.4 (standard from kernel.org) but ran into the (another) famous problem of "unable to mount VFS" problem, which trashed the partition and hence the existing 2.4 (Suse 9.0) installation.

Trashed the partition? normally that message shouldn't write anything to disk. -Andi

I have been having one heck of a postfix with imap and ssl to work on SLES 8 for AMD64. This is our only server at the current time, so it is fireall, app server and email server. It has plenty of power, so that is not an issue. So, looking through the README's I found /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO which seemed to suggest that postfix with cyrus was the best approach. Being as we only has a small number of email users, going to a MySQL database seemed like overkill. Plus these instructions build most everything from source. With SLES 8 for AMD64 binary RPMs is it possible to get postfix and cyrus working with TLS/SSL for imap and pop? If so where could I find better HOWTO's. I have spent a lot of time reading mailing lists but so far no success. Otherwise, would it make sense to obtain the SuSE 9.0 for AMD64 source RPM's for postfix, cyrus-imap and cyrus-sasl2 and compile those on SLES for AMD64? I have read that postfix 1.x will not work with saslauthd.
