Description Bastien Nocera 2006-01-11 11:24:05 UTC
kernel 2.6.9-27.EL doesn't include the i915 DRM support because no Intel AGP
support is compiled on x86-64.

$ rpm -qpl kernel-2.6.9-27.EL.i686.rpm | grep drm
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i810.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i830.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i915.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mga.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko

$ rpm -qpl kernel-2.6.9-27.EL.x86_64.rpm | grep drm
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mga.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-27.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko

The depends look broken in drivers/char/agp/Kconfig:
config AGP_INTEL
       tristate "Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support"
       depends on AGP && X86 && !X86_64

config AGP_INTEL_MCH
       tristate "Intel i865 chipset support"
       depends on AGP && X86
