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. Thanks Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
