Well, I've found the sources of agpgart module (in the drivers/char/agp
directory)
in the kernel 2.2.14 sources included in RedHat 6.2.
However I can't find them in the kernel sources available in potato
(both 2.2.14 and 2.2.15)...
Where can I get them from? Is it safe to copy the drivers/char/agp directory
from the RedHat's 2.2.14 sources into the debian's 2.2.15, and use
the make-kpkg?
