Since nvidia-legacy-drivers was merged back into nvidia-drivers again, forcing me to use driver version 1.0.7185, instead of 1.0.7184, the driver registry does not respond to settings in /etc/modules.d/nvidia which are designed to enable FW and SBA options in the AGP driver. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to nvidia-drivers-1.0.7185 2. cat /proc/drivers/nvidia/registry 3. note EnableSAGPBA and EnableAGPFW flags unaffected by options in /etc/modules.d/nvidia Actual Results: /proc/drivers/nvidia/registry contains EnableAGPSBA: 0, and EnableAGPFW: 0 Expected Results: /proc/drivers/nvidia/registry would contain EnableAGPSBA: 1, and EnableAGPFW: 1, as stipulated by the line "options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1" in /etc/modules.d/nvidia I think these worked fine in driver version 1.0.7184, but since the ebuild for this has been scrapped, I can't check.
Since this is a closed source driver there is nothing we can do. Please use nVidia's Linux support resources, which include e-mail support at linux-bugs@nvidia.com as well as their forum at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14
