My money is on the pony that said in a thread, that 2.4.xx kernel may not support agp-8x.
slow it down in the bios to 4x.
or...
sh NVIDIA...pkg1.run --help
sh NVIDIA...pkg1.run --uninstall (0ption)
xorgconfig run through the options and use #18 with "nv" kernel.
save xconfig file.
DO THE PREVIOUS IF YOU DID ANYTHING ELSE TO YOUR CONFIG FILE MORE SO THAN WHAT
< mortal > SAID!!!
Dont mess up the xconfig file more than it has been, or more than it needs to ;^>.
Re-read the Readme file beggining to end unpack the NVIDIA....pkg1.run file.
In .../nvida...pkg1/...doc/README look for stuff relitive to agp 8x, and your card. (and FAQ)
I don't recomend using the bata testing of 'hyper' agp or whatever the option is to increase the speed of the card (found near the bottom of the text).
1st check to see if the nvidia kernel and or kernel.org 2.4.3x supports your AGP chipset or, a generic (less liked idea) agp-8x of your chip.
if the chipset for agp can be placed into the kernel DO IT.>>>
www.kernel.org
. re-modulate the kernel if you need to.
there are two problems here, 1 support for the AGP-chipset and 2 for the NVIDIA card!
if they conflict with eachother, something like the card using 4x and the chipset using 8x, you may/will see problems.
if the video card module is not able to support agp-8x swich the bios setting to use agp-4x.
