For my geforce3 and geforce4 I didn't notice anything odd about using the KT400 chipset in spite of agpgart not fully supporting it.
For my fx5800 I actually *had* to use the nvidia agp driver to get anything other than console mode to function. Now it could be that I just needed to drop the AGP rate to 4x in bios but frankly I didn't think of that option until I'd already switched to using the nvidia code. The nvidia agp code has been behaving quite well under 2.4.20 and 2.4.22-pre* for me.
