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. --Charles Ulrich -- http://www.bityard.net _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
