So, I installed the driver and although things are working I'm getting this on console 0: NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the amd CPU and OS kernel NVRM: kernel upgrade recommended So, when I installed the nvidia driver I said to enable AGP. (Figuring only that this is an AGP board, why not?) My graphical environment works but I'd like to resolve this. Also, I think that some little quirks in my display can be attributed to this, but I'm not sure. Is there some sort of kernel option I must include and build my own kernel? Thanks, Andy ps in case it matters, my board is rather "old." I purchased it 4 years ago and as I'm not a gamer, it suffices quite nicely. Here's the driver I had to install for support of this chip: nvidia-driver-96.43.07 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL ren
