Well, no... I am still using the BIOS that came with the board, didn't have the need to upgrade it. With FC4 the nVidia driver did work. I will check on this, though. > Does setting NvAGP to 0 in xorg.conf help? I assume it should be put in as Option "NvAGP" "0" in the "Device" section? I did so, and it did not help. Though, the log file now looks somewhat different. It says somewhere that AGP is switched off by request, but the simptoms are still the same. Any other sugestions?
