In file Config.in:
I took the $CONFIG_AGP away from radeon because of a change in the Make.linux
file (Not included) it was that way and not like the others that had the dep.
I don't know if PCIGART should be released.
as for gamma was removed, now it is not. I'm guessing were leaving it in until
we don't want to.
The patch compiles fine, however I tweaked mga to see if he would compile with
ought AGPGART and I got no errors /w a kernel image.

I double checked, that is that way it is in Alans home dir.

No problem.

I'll keep that in mind. Who knows what the future would bring.
