We had to work up a number of patches to get several of the in-kernel
AGP/DRM drivers working. Chances are, similar fixes will be required to
the Nvidia wrapper. You might want to look at agp.patch (in older trees)
and use that as guide for what needs fixing. Once you've got it working,
feed the patches back to Nvidia...

I know Jacob has had some success getting a binary ATI driver working
with a bit of hacking to the wrapper.

Good luck!

Ian
