hmmmm shouldn't be resource conflict with AGP I would stick with the driver installed by YOU first, until you get it working. Once the "update" is done, I would manually change the XF86Config file for the "nvidia" driver (only change this one thing to start with) then run "modprobe nvidia" manually. Sometimes it won't load until you do it manually for the first time. Then, it is a matter of issuing startx's and checking the /var/log/XFree86.log with "cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep NV" and /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status You should see something like this (XFree86.0.log) (--) PCI:*(2:0:0) nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] rev 161, Mem @ 0xf8000000/24, 0xf0000000/27 (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" (II) NVIDIA XFree86 Driver 1.0-5332 Fri Jan 9 12:43:30 PST 2004 (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all NVIDIA GPUs (--) Chipset NVIDIA GPU found and (/proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status) Status: Enabled Driver: AGPGART AGP Rate: 8x Fast Writes: Enabled SBA: Enabled Information from those two sources would be helpful.

Do you also have an on-board video card?
Yes, I have a K7S41GX Mainboard with SiS741GX Chipset with an *AGP 8X*/4X 1.5V Slot and an onboard so-called "Integrated Real 256E 3D Graphics" VGA-Card (although sax2 detected a SIS xxx Card (don't remember the number too well)) and max 64 MB shared memory.
Almost sounds like a resource conflict to me...
Maybe, but how can I find out? And since I inserted this MX 4000 card the BIOS seems to have completly turned of this onboard card (the shared memory is now counted as main-memory, and sax doesn't detect anymore this SIS-Card.) 'lsmod|grep -i sis' yields
sis_agp 7424 1 agpgart 30888 1 sis_agp sis900 19716 0
So it seems only the SiS AGP and Ethernet drivers are left.
There also seems to be a PCI-Version of the MX 4000 so I should note that my is an AGP-Card.
