help using agp with abit NV7M?

[TimD]

Anyone have any experience with this board? I've been trying to get a video card to work on this motherboard for a few days now, Abit won't reply to my emails, and it seems no one else seems to know how to get it going. The only way I've found to cut the onboard video off is to disable buffer size, but then the agp slot still won't work. The manual (ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/fae/nv7m-e.pdf) is next to worthless.

any help is appreciated

Well, I'm using that mobo right now.

But, I'm also using the integrated graphics.

According to what I've heard, the onboard should be automatically disabled whenever a card is put in the AGP slot. Also, look out - only 1.5v AGP cards are supported. 3v can supposedly burn out part of the chipset.
