Just wanted to add an independent confirmation on this one. I have a similar
configuration (AGP rather than PCIe) and had the same problem. I have yet to
see any Linux distribution configure the NV43 6600 cards properly unless they
use vesa or fbdev driver. BTW, I also used i386 rather than amd64 on AMD64
platform for stability (beaten path) issues.
