I don't know what kernel version you are using, but the Debian 2.4.19-686 kernel package has this already defined: CONFIG_AGP=m CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y CONFIG_AGP_I810=y CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS=y -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
