(I find it hard to imagine an agp driver being slower other than initial hw setup, which for sure can be fixed). Do provide details about the exact hw you have (eg which agp chipset etc etc). > besides, what is buggy in your Eys ? Iam very content with thr NVidia > one ... ... except for the oopses you get. That's obviously a very bad sign, and a general indication that there is a bug in the binary one you use. > why you must rewrite a agp driver while this one still exists > from the Vendor itself ? why do you use an open source operating system if you can use a binary only one from other vendors ? ;) realistically agp drivers in linux have to be inside the kernel for correct operation in several circumstances (eg the resource management of the kernel depends on knowing where "stuff" is, and the AGP aparture is one of the resources that needs to be known there)
