My guess is that the Nvidia (or is it nVidia?) driver is loading the
AGP GART module itself. Looking at the readme that comes with the
nvidia-glx package it seems that you can determine whether the driver
will use the agpgart module or its own by adding an option to the
"Device" section of xorg.conf like so


Code:
--------------------
    
  Option "NvAGP" "1"
  
--------------------


The default, as you've discovered, it to load the agpgart module, then
to try NVAGP if that fails.

For completeness, here are all the appropriate AGP settings


Code:
--------------------
    
  Option "NvAgp" "0"  ... disables AGP support
  Option "NvAgp" "1"  ... use NVAGP, if possible
  Option "NvAgp" "2"  ... use AGPGART, if possible
  Option "NvAGP" "3"  ... try AGPGART; if that fails, try NVAGP
  
--------------------


Try those options and see if you get any joy.

HTH, etc..
