As subject really: I don't want any nVidia proprietry rubbish, just nice clean vanilla kernel configuring and running.

For both 2.4 and 2.6?

       "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.

AGP at least isn't supported on the KT600. Though it should be a case of just adding the PCI ID. For AGP x8 you'll need 2.5.
