Depending on your nvidia options, it will be loaded when the nvidia module is loaded, or nvidia will handle agpgart itself. >>From the README: X Config Options Option "NvAGP" "integer" Configure AGP support. Integer argument can be one of: Value Behavior -------------- --------------------------------------------------- 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) If agpgart is compiled into the kernel, only 2 will work. -- Peter -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
