The card uses normal RAM as display memory. In fact, I suspect the i81x's of
being nothing more than a glorified 2d chip programmed to do some simple 3d,
and starve system memory while being about it. Oh and it does some crappy
sound which requires careful timing[1].
To answer your question: no, you don't have to recompile the kernel - X
will setup the card so it uses the amount you specify in your XF86Config.
Attached is my XF86Config which works with
agp0: <Intel 82815 (i815 GMCH) SVGA controller> mem 0xff000000-0xff07ffff,0xf8000000-0xfbffffff irq 9 at device 2.0 on pci0
(and as you can see, I have the line 'device agp' in my kernel. Why it's not
in LINT is beyond me).
HTH,

[1] If someone has a working, not too fast playing sound config on one of
these I'd love to hear from you.
