Pardon me for budding in, but I've read about this "preload
agp.ko/mga.ko"-stuff ever since I tried getting XFree 4.0.1 to work. I
tried it to end up severely breaking X.

The thing is drm/dri works just fine without preloading the kernelmodules
(XFree 4.0.3 and STABLE), they seem to be loaded when needed! So why
recommend something that isn't really needed? Or am I missing something
here?
