Been here? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.21.html

Found this, also...

Looks to me like you're going to have to do some kernel compiling.  
agpgart is probably part of the OS, as long as the kernel has it 
compiled in it.

And, while I've -done- kernel compilations before, in SuSE - it's been a 
-long- time, and other than going to


    The *Linux Kernel* Archives <http://www.kernel.org/>

This is the primary site for the *Linux kernel* source.
www.*kernel*.org/ - 25k - Jul 5, 2007

and, getting the latest kernel, putting the thin in 
/usr/lib/some/deeper/directories/etc/etc/etc... and then running
'make menu' and go from there.
