I have a via motherboard (on loan from work, mine's broke) and a nV ti 4400. AGP simple won't work.
I have tried: Latest Gentoo stable drivers: (4496) Latest nVidia stable drivers (5336) These were supposed to fix some issues with via and agp.
The host bridge claims it's supported by agpgart and nvagp.
Hmmmm, non-free software, I shouldn't really reply to this but then I also use the Nvidia non-free driver on my desktop (I unfortunately have an addiction to FPS games).
Does XFree86 actually work? as in you have a GUI but no AGP? I ask as this isn't clear in the original email. If XFree86 won't start then it could be something to do with the glx bits needing to be installed in a different manner to work with kernel 2.6, I had a problem with that on my Debian machine in the past.
Anyhow I would recommend that you checkout the Nvidia support forum which is linked to from Nvidias site (and Nvidia people do post there) and can be found at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 you will probably find a solution there, or some people who have the same problems.
