agpgart is in /etc/hotplug/blacklist (there is a text file, so I entered agpgart
into that as a single line at end of file) however as for the folder -
/blacklist.d - I wasn't sure so I created a text file in there and a single line
- agpgart.

According to dmesg (another command found in the forums) I previously had nvagp
not loaded due to agpgart already loaded. After blacklisting I believe it isn't
loaded anymore as my dmesg now give me one line which I think is the correct one:

NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-6629 Wed Nov 3 13:12:
51 PST 2004

Before that NVRM was not loaded due to AGPGART and after blacklisting it is now
loaded.

And I'm afraid it still doesn't solve the CPU usage in X windows (Firefox is now
painfully slow in redrawing websites etc...for example just to scroll up down
this mainly text page - it is taking up 25% CPU?! It should be taking almost
none really)

Any other suggestions for me to try out?

Cheers
