agpgart is a kernel module and it should be available on debian kernels. If you use a custom kernel you will need to make sure you compile it (at least as a module), it should be under character devices. It is loaded automatically by modprobe when loading the card driver which is probably loaded automatically by the X server. > Whatever the difference is between my config and yours might indeed be > telling, but this aspect of my config was done by a package install script > somewhere, not by me. > > -- > Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 > http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
