 |With some hackery, it is supported.

 |You'll have to base from 4.1, hope that's okay. I'm using DRI fine on
 |4.2-R with a Matrox G200.

It's also important to verify that agpgart supports your motherboard's
northbridge chipset.

Case in point: I upgraded my system last summer and have a Matrox G450 AGP
but have never gotten H/W acceleration going here because no one had added
support for my AMD761 northbridge to the agpgart drivers.
...Re-researching just now, I see somebody added it to -current a few weeks
ago (hurray!), but I run -stable and I don't know if this has been MFCed
yet.  Maybe my wait is over!?  At any rate, I recommend you check first.

Good luck!

Randall
