What does 'lspci -v' say? Are the agpgart and drm modules being loaded? dmesg | more shows you the drivers loaded at boot time, but modular drivers can be seen by doing an 'lsmod'.

[Ragu_3 · Accepted solution]

As your video chipset is an "VIA S3 Unichrome", please select the module "via" instead of "vesa" or "nv". This module is to be selected
as the video driver while configuring X or by hand inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Do a modprobe for "via-agp" and "drm" too, kill all instances of X and re-start.

The choice of nvidia display driver is inappropriate for your VGA adapter.
