In the NVIDIA driver README, I see:
Option "NvAGP" "integer"
I'm not sure how much more explicit it could be.
An example from a working file. A clear statement, like "Use the
following form: 'Option "NvAGP" "0"'." A clear statement
like "Use
exactly this form, substituting an appropriate integer."
This is not the place to teach technical writing; it suffices to say
that just because it is clear to you does not mean it is clear to
anyone else.
