Thanks Chadley,

I'll try this. Where should I put in the option line you suggested - in 
the Device section - that would make my entry look like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Videocard0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
    BoardName   "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200"
    Option      "NvAGP" "1"
EndSection
