nvidia enabled already?

Hi all.. I know I am being quite silly or panaroid towards myself to ask about this.
I have followed the instructions given in the nvidia guide on gentoo website. And, my computer detected the nvidia all right. But, I am still not convinced whether is my graphics card in full usage supporting 3dimensional stuffs like that. How do I know if it is more than a normal graphics card? Below are some parts of my XF86 logs.

**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NvAGP" "2"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Use of AGPGART requested
(--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xE8000000
(--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xFD000000
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU detected as: GeForce4 MX 440
(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 65536 kBytes
(II) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s): CRT-0, TV-0
(--) NVIDIA(0): Detected TV Encoder: NVIDIA
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Multiple displays connected, but only one display allowed;
(WW) NVIDIA(0): using first display
(--) NVIDIA(0): Display device CRT-0: maximum pixel clock at 8 bpp: 350 MHz
(--) NVIDIA(0): Display device CRT-0: maximum pixel clock at 16 bpp: 350 MHz
(--) NVIDIA(0): Display device CRT-0: maximum pixel clock at 32 bpp: 350 MHz

But, later part it goes :
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to verify AGP usage
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "800x600/72Hz"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
(==) NVIDIA(0): Backing store disabled
(==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled

I mean i am using NVAGPGART, so is it ok if nvidia failed to verify AGP usage? :cry:

Moved from Installing Gentoo.

BTW. with 'glxinfo' you should be able to check if direct rendering is used. If it is not, post the XF86Config too and specify what kernel, nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx you are using.

I am using i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Gentoo Kernel 2.4.20. Nvidia GEFORCE4 MX440-SE card. Using these packages.

Ok I did have agpgart enabled in my kernel config . I guess the agp is not verified because one can only choose between using nvagp OR agpgart. Thats why its saying in the logs that its not verified? I did see a really cool 3-D graphics yeah.. but are these values reasonable?

6070 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1214.000 FPS
7404 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1480.800 FPS
7422 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1484.400 FPS
