Havent found anyone else on nvnews or gentoo forums with my problem.. or even a particularly similar problem. I ought to have mentioned I'd looked at forums, but thought nvnews might be new one... well, it was early morning.
Changed kernel to 2.6.6 and rebuilt config from scratch. agpgart built in - no go. changed card to a Ti4600 (from Ti4400) - no go
The AGP did work back in the days before windows stopped working, with either card.
I'm thinking this motherboard will never do it under linux, people have mentioned agp/via problems, but are always saved by switching to nvAGP or agpgart.
If you want to nvidia driver to work under 2.6.6, you've got to leave 4k stacks off, lave register arguments off and reverse a module move patch. While it will function with register arguments on, its unstable i'm told. i didnt try it.
