and: if you have enabled iommu support, agpsupport is built in the kernel. |
| 35 |
Because both are the same for AMD64. |

There is nio good reason to build agpsupport as modul on amd64, so it is ok to |

build it in. Just make a kernel, install the kernel and install nvidia-kernel |
| 39 |
and nvidia-glx. |
