Also, AGP doesn't seem to want to work with my ASUS k8v deluxe motherboard.

I tried to use FreeBSD's agp.ko, and with that, the screen just goes 
blank and I
have to push the reset button, and I tried with nvidia's agp, and this is what
the sysctl values say:

hw.nvidia.agp.card.rates: 8x 4x
hw.nvidia.agp.card.fw: supported
hw.nvidia.agp.card.sba: supported
hw.nvidia.agp.card.registers: 0x1f000e1b:0x00000000
hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: disabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: n/a (unused)
hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: n/a (disabled)
hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: n/a (disabled)
hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: n/a (disabled)

Is there something special to do in order to enable AGP (other than change the
value in the X config, and compile the kernel module right)??

This is the agp controller:

agp0: <VIA 8385 host to PCI bridge> mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff at device 0.0 on
pci0
