But as graphics/drm-*-kmod are ported from Linux, I suspect if Linux still support agp even on amd64 (would be nonsense, though) and ask agp driver whether there's any GPU or not, agp driver would be needed just to reply "there's none!". Not read the codes, so I would be wrong. But just a possible reason to keep it. -- Tomoaki AOKI <[email protected]>
