Description of problem:
It would be nice if you compile agpgart as modules by default. Otherwise I have
to recompile kernel if I want to use other agp driver (like nvidia which is more
effective)

It needs to be built in so that resource allocation for various other things
work correctly (for example the amd64 IOMMU, and the IntelFB driver).

Comment 2 The Source 2006-09-17 09:12:26 UTC

Probably you know it yourself, but it is not good to force users to use unwanted
drivers. Is there any way to disable agpgart even if it is inside kernel?
