Tried playing with /etc/modules and /etc/moprobe.d/blacklist.conf.  It's
loading via_agp, which I assume is a video driver since it includes "agp" in
the name.  I tried to blacklist that and force sis_agp to load.  No luck.
 Still using via_agp after reboot.

So will any AGP card work?  Would something like this be an option?

I've never upgraded a video card before, so excuse my ignorance...

Thanks,
Kendall
