nvidia agpgart support?

I can't get the nvidia drivers to work in AGP mode in any form - nvidia agp, linux agpgart (module or built-in).
If I try using the Linux agpgart dmesg returns that the nvidia drivers couldn't initialize AGP when I start X. If I disable Linux agpgart support and tell Xorg to use nvidia AGP it does nothing and /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status says Disabled.
Has anyone figured this out?

What kind of chipset do you have? I have an ASUS board that has an awful ALI chipset that disables AGP for Nvidia cards! I had to use a different motherboard just to get AGP enabled for my 5700 Ultra card.

It's an Asus A7V880 (Via KT880 + Via 8237)...
I've turned all the AGP-related settings on in the BIOS and set the aperture size correctly (256MB). It's a Chaintech GeForce FX5500 256MB if you need to know that too.

Nice, but not so much, we gotta the same error...
And the same architecture... and even with agpgart and via-agp, or without, i gotta agp disabled..

Little update:
Nvidia driver's agp support doesn't work for our mobo chipset...
While usin' kernel via-agp it works (don't know why before wasn't)...

FPS for me are 2800~ ... but i think that's becouse i've a sempron 2400+ which hasn't very good performances...
