If you have a card that requires it (one of the cards listed in the kernel
config, for example, a Matrox), then yes. Some drivers (notably nvidia) have
their own driver that gets loaded as a module when X starts. For these you
don't have to do anything special with the kernel when building it.

Also, be careful that you don't confuse AGP, DRI, and DGA. AGP is a video bus,
DRI is a system implemented in the Linux kernel and XFree86 that allows direct
access the the video hardware, and DGA is an X extension that allows
applications to access the framebuffer directly. (Or so I am led to understand.)

Corrections/additions to the above definitions appreciated.
