Thanks for the info I'll look into it.
For me, the problem is FC builds their kernels with agpgart built in, instead
of as a module (I don't know why, maybe a good reason).
For me, I am trying to get suspend working with the nvidia graphics drivers
(see a previous post from me) which MAY require me to use the nvidia AGP
driver instead of agpgart. At the moment I am just experimenting.
If there is no good reason why agpgart is built in not a module, maybe this
could be changed ?
