I think you may be confusing "agp" driver and video driver. The agp support in the kernel is for the agp slot on the motherboard chipset. If your motherboard uses an agp slot this is where an agp video card would be inserted. You would want this kernel support if such were the case. Video drivers, on the other hand, are part of the Xorg installation. This is a third party software installed from the ports system. The "all the others" you mention are probably the myriad of video card drivers installed along with Xorg. For the most part, the bulk of this software is not kernel related; the exception(s) being certain kernel modules such as dri and nvidia. The "all the others" video drivers are not kernel related. -Mike
