    This option is quite important, as it sets the type of AGP driver (if any) you
    will be using. As you have not set this option you will be using option 3,
    i.e;
    "NvAGP" "3"
    which is default. This option will try loading the AGPGART driver first and
    if that fails then the NVAGP driver. Note that using an AGP module with your
    nvidia display driver is only supported for certain chipsets. Use on
    unsupported chipsets can result in system instability. Full details can be
    found in the README.txt in /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0. Having played
    around with these settings on a previous nvdia card, it did affect system
    stability. So if you get crashing whilst using 3D graphics this might be
    something to look into.
