You really need to delete 'device AGP' from your kernel config and rebuild your kernel. When everything is working OK, the hw.nvidia sysctl will look like this: pyotr@nox:~> sysctl hw.nvidia hw.nvidia.agp.card.rates: 8x 4x hw.nvidia.agp.card.fw: supported hw.nvidia.agp.card.sba: supported hw.nvidia.agp.card.registers: 0xff000e1b:0x1f000302 hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: enabled hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: nvidia hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: 8x hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: disabled hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: enabled [ ... ] hw.nvidia.cards.0.model: GeForce 7600 GT hw.nvidia.cards.0.irq: 16 hw.nvidia.cards.0.vbios: 05.73.22.25.70 hw.nvidia.cards.0.type: AGP Regards, Pieter de Goeje
