My menuconfig still shows --- for the agp line, so based on my responses 
I still have it built in some where do to another dependency.
Tried playing with some of the options, but still shows ---.
I will look at it more.

I guess nvidia's agp looks better then agpgart?
I have not done anything in the X config o wht you mention above.
