-/dev/agpgart (AGP Support) (EXPERIMENTAL)
-CONFIG_AGP
-  The agpgart kernel module is necessary to use the AGP features
-  of your 3D rendering video card.  It acts as a sort of "AGP

-  Loading this module into the kernel will allow the glx module to
-  program the GART (graphics aperture relocation table) registers
-  with appropriate values to transfer commands to the card. 
-
-  If you need more texture memory than you can get with the AGP GART
-  (theoretically up to 256 megs, but in practice usually 64 or 128
-  megs due to kernel allocation issues), you could use PCI accesses
-  and have up to a couple gigs of texture space.
