Unfortunately you must add agpgart as an additional dependency outside
of XFree86. The "i810" XFree86 driver needs the agpgart *kernel* module
even on Linux.  Which is why I asked if anyone has tried to port that
module/driver to Hurd.

I plan to read up on this and then post some more on the list.
