gforce2 (MX400) with nvida drivers 1.0-4349

I've just installed the nvidia drivers on my Slack 9.0 system, and the
only way it will work is to disable AGP.  It craps out totally with
either the kernel agp module or the nvidia agp module, but it works ok
with agp disabled.

I'm on a Aazza KT3-AV with KT133A chipset and an Athlon-XP 1800. 
There are lots of writeups in the nvidia doc about via chipsets and/or
Athlon processors, but none of them seem applicable to my situation. 
I've even tried changing the AGP Driving setting in the BIOS to a range
recommended by nvidia.

I've also done a fair amount of googling to no avail.

Syptoms are the screen turns to total black and white garbage as soon as
the X server starts; only ctl-alt-del will cure the problem.  The
standard X drivers worked ok with AGP enabled.

Anyone have an opinion?
