I think it will, once I find the config you're referencing. Also, I don't appear to have either menuconfig or xconfig on my installation. All I have for X configuration is /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config and dpkg-reconfigure run with 'xserver-xfree86' on the command line. I also don't have the agpgart module present; modprobe agpgart reports that it can't find it. If you could point me toward the config file I'll see what it says.
