I do not have agp in the kernel config. When X starts it loads both the radeon and agp modules, or maybe the radeon module is loading the agp module. Either way, both radeon.ko and agp.ko get loaded up. Here is some info about my hardware: - The motherboard is an Abit IS7 (P4c w/865PE chipset) - The graphics card is an ATI Radeon 9100 Here is the device section of my XF86Config (sans comments): Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Radeon R200 QM [Radeon 9100]" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "DDCMode" "true" Option "ForcePCIMode" "true" EndSection Finally, here are the first few lines of glxinfo: name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 -- Glenn Johnson
