I have the same exact problem, except with Gutsy instead of Hardy. I have a system with an i815 chipset and a GeForce 6600GT AGP graphics card. (I know, my chipset (and processor) are way to slow for my GFX card, but this would not cause my problem.) I have tried with both the agpgart driver and the NvAGP driver, neither works.) I know my chipset does not support AGP Fast Writes, but I am only trying to enable SBA, which I know it does support.
