Even better options, which allow you to leave RenderAccel on:

    * NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-7167-1233959.diff.txt
      This patch fixes 2D/3D performance problems when using the Linux
AGP driver, AGPGART; the built-in NVIDIA AGP driver, NvAGP, is not
affected by this problem.

    * NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-7167-1237815.diff.txt
      This patch fixes a compile time error when building against
Linux 2.6.11-bk3 or later, configured without support for AGPGART
(i.e. CONFIG_AGP unset).
