Mark,
One thing I forgot to mention on this was that I am running unstable
with XF86 4.3, though it should work with XF86 4.2, as well. Also, I
say use a 2.6 series kernel because the DRI and AGPGART stuff is
already in there, no need to build more modules. Yes, it's possible. I've
done it

Talking out of the top of my head, does aalib has an option
