Hmm. I'm using Xorg's nv driver,  not the Nvidia binary driver, and my
Nvidia card is pretty old, so this may be totally irrelevant, but
anyway:

The driver should not matter. The MTRR gives the driver efficient access to the AGP card.

$ cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size=  64MB: write-combining, count=1

This *looks* like a decent MTRR setting although it would appear incorrect for the lspci listing below

reg01: base=0xd8000000 (?????MB), size=  128MB: write-combining, count=1

$ /sbin/lspci -v
...
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]
(rev b2) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
       Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
       Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
       Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]

Unless I misunderstood your explanation, this means that the mtrr
settings are not correct. Still, Xorg's cpu utilization is 0.3% (all
this on a PIII, FC5, with regularly updated Xorg server).
If Xorg is using only 0.3% cpu when doing intensive graphics/video (ie mplayer, xine) then I think your MTRR is just fine.
