I am running into the same problem with my system. When you find out the solution to your issues please let me know. Thanks.

I ran into the same problem with my system. Turns out I had installed the wrong version of the kernel driver.
If you are sure you have the right one then double check the changes to your XF86config (or XF86config-4) file as detailed in the README.

i had to add the "Option NvAGP" "1" to my XF86Config-4 to get it working. q3 linux runs great on a dual p3 550, ultra tnt2 32, 2.4.18-10smp kernel(i think thats what it is) anyways i did the update from redhat wich did the kernel also. had a hell of a time figuring this out. installed from the i686smp rpm on the nvidia site.
in case anyone finds it interesting it a netserver e60, wich hp says no way for redhat 7.3, took the crappy video card out that it came with........work on wine and halflife begins.....

Where did section you stick the "option NvAGP" "1"?
or where did you see that documented?

@number9

nvidia has a redme file for the drivers

on its webside which will answer your question;-)

Yeah... There are quite a few option to choose from.

# Option "NvAGP" "0" # KG None
# Option "NvAGP" "1" # KG NVAGP
# Option "NvAGP" "2" # KG AGPGART
# Option "NvAGP" "3" # KG first AGPGART, then NVAGP
# Option "NoRenderAccel" "on"
# Option "NoLogo" "on"

unfortunely this did not seem to be what is causing my crashes, I tryed different option.

thank you all the same...

i thought it was kinda vague. i looked at some posts at www.mandrakeuser.org wich had some configs posted, i used those to take a guess were to put it. i didnt even have that line or a hint of it in there. id post my config but im at work on a w2k laptop wich is more practical for actually getting something done. there a re a lot of tips wich can be useful for clues. keep a couple of things in mind, the people in the forums are generally like you or me-havent a clue. and read read read!! i overlooked a lot of important stuff before i started understanding some of it, a lot of stupid mistakes and reloads. keep at it!!! i almost threw my pc in the dumpster. heh
