Hi,
	I'm having a hell of a time keeping my GForce4 Ti 4200 working. I daily 
alternate between:
Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device "nVidia Corporation|NV25 [GeForce4 Ti4200"
	Monitor "CustomConfiguration"
	Option  "NvAgp" "1"
	Option  "accel" "1"
	DefaultDepth 16
	Subsection "Display"
		Depth 24
		Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
AND
Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device "nVidia Corporation|NV25 [GeForce4 Ti4200"
	Monitor "CustomConfiguration"
	Option  "NvAgp" "0"
	Option  "accel" "1"
	DefaultDepth 16
	Subsection "Display"
		Depth 24
		Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
AND
Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device "nVidia Corporation|NV25 [GeForce4 Ti4200"
	Monitor "CustomConfiguration"
	Option  "NvAgp" "2"
	Option  "accel" "1"
	DefaultDepth 16
	Subsection "Display"
		Depth 24
		Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
lsmod shows that agpgart is not loaded.
GL apps such as my CAD program or glxgears will hang up the X session untill 
I switch NvAgp option to "0" and then to either "1" or "2" (seems like the 
option must be set to "1" if it was originally "2" and vice versa) sounds 
wierd to me....

Secondly, Running XFree86 -configure exits with fatal error advising me to 
send the output of scanpci -v:
[ernie@localhost ernie]$ scanpci -v:
Fatal Error:
xf86EnableIOPorts: Failed to set IOPL for I/O
Anyone have a fix?
I'm running XFree86-4.2.1 updated with the Xupdate tar ball and 
XFree86-tools-4.2.0 and XFree86-libs-4.2.0
I tried to update these using the rpm's but I can't get rpm to see the 4.2.1 
update (could use some help here too, I guess.
	By the way, XFree86.log says that the nvidia accel option is not being used.
