Hi, I did Yast to update the NVidia driver and the kernel (2.6.5-7.75-smp) after SUSE9.1 installation. Is this normal to get the following message in /var/log/messages? Jun 25 18:05:47 minerva kernel: 1: NVRM: AGPGART: unable to retrieve symbol table Jun 25 18:05:47 minerva kernel: 1: NVRM: not using NVAGP, kernel was compiled with GART_IOMMU support!! Thank you.

I believe that the driver tries to use AGPGART as default since 1.0-1251. Seeing that it tried to use NVAGP instead, I'd be willing to bet you have an old option in your XF86Config file to the effect of Option 'NvAGP' '1' which was maybe a past fix for an unstable AGPGART. If you remove that option line from XF86Config, it won't try to use it anymore. If you have AGPGART statically linked in you kernel, it is impossible to use NvAGP anyway. The important thing is to check your /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status file to see that AGP was enabled and what it is using for driver and what the X rate is. Pertinent section of README is included below (you can get to readme from .run file by using the --extract-only param when you run it) Option "NvAGP" "integer" Configure AGP support. Integer argument can be one of: 0 : disable agp 1 : use NVIDIA's internal AGP support, if possible 2 : use AGPGART, if possible 3 : use any agp support (try AGPGART, then NVIDIA's AGP) Please note that NVIDIA's internal AGP support cannot work if AGPGART is either statically compiled into your kernel or is built as a module, but loaded into your kernel (some distributions load AGPGART into the kernel at boot up). Default: 3 (the default was 1 until after 1.0-1251). B-)

Hi, Brad: It is very weird. "cat /proc/driver/nvidia/status" says nothing! I did not find any NvAGP option in /etc/X11/XF86Config. However, glxgears running fine (14000 frames per 5.0 secs) and glxinfo reveals that it is using Nvidia driver. $ glxinfo name of display: localhost:11.0 display: localhost:11 screen: 0 direct rendering: No server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation server glx version string: 1.3 server glx extensions: GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation client glx version string: 1.3 I'm completely puzzled.
