52 Hi,
53 The chipset support is right below CONFIG_AGP setting.
54 ...
55 Character devices --->
56 /dev/agpgart (AGP support)
57 Inter chipset ...
58 ...
59 There's only one option for Intel chipset support (from 810-I915).
60 If made as modules put the appropriate entries in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
61 PS:could check the genkernel guide too.
