OP stands for "Original Poster". I.e. the person who started this thread. I.e. you.

I get very similar results to you when I try to modprobe agpgart (the 'no such device', etc.). I'm also running (possibly not for much longer) redhat 9. I had no problem applying the patches in the nvidia driver distribution to my kernel. At least, 'patch' did not come up with any errors. I compiled a custom kernel with /dev/agpgart support disabled (not even a module), and used 'Option "NvAGP" "1"' in XF86Config.

As far as I can see, AGP itself is running. At least, XFree86Config.0.log reports that option "1" has been requested, and my agp status is listed as enabled.

Cheers,

Ross-c
