You still need to ensure you have AGP set in your Bios.
Rebuild an *unchanged* kernel source for the NV drivers and reinstall it just to get back to a sensible baseline. You don't have to set any AGP option in XF86Config as you get it by default, but make sure you aren't using the agppart module in the kernel (type 'lsmod'). You want to use the AGP support in the 251 drivers themselves so agppart will cause you difficulties if it's loaded.

System :- QDI mainboard using the KT133 chipset from VIA 384Mb RAM CardExpert GeForce 2MX graphics card All other standard computer components OS - 7.2 Professional,standard 2.4.4-4GB kernel, XFree 4.1.0 First off, my system works perfectly using the SuSE supplied drivers, but as soon as I updated them, the X Server will not run. It reports "Failed to initialize AGP", "Failed to allocate a DMA push buffer context" and "Failed to allocate DMA push buffer". I have attached my XF86config and a XFree86.log files for reference. Also, the output of cat /proc/nv/card0. I thought the AGP port would automatically be initialised. I have noticed that the modules supplied by NVidia are for XFree 4.0.2. Will these work with 4.1.0 or will I need to remove 4.1.0 and install 4.0.2 ? I have, also recompiled the kernel module from source as standard and changing some values in os-registry.c, but again this has had no effect. Other thing I have tried is changing the NvAGP option. Any help would be much appreciated in getting this to work. Thanks in advance, Les

I have checked my BIOS and the only options for AGP I have are :- AGP Aperture Size - ...16,32,64,128M AGP-4X Mode - Enabled/Disabled AGP Driving Control - Auto/Manual AGP Driving Value - 00...FF AGP Fast Write - Enabled/Disabled AGP Master 1 WS Write - Enabled/Disabled AGP Master 1 WS Read - Enabled/Disabled I have tried various different combinations of options with no luck. I even dug out my motherboard manual, just in case I had missed anything. <snip> Best regards, Les
