[edit] Kernel Configuration
Enable the chipset driver under /dev/agpgart, then enable the Direct Rendering Manager appropriate to your card.If you would like the i915 driver to be built into your kernel (instead of being loaded as a module), check for the ACPI Button and Video choices to be set to built-in: The entry for "i915 driver" will disappear from the menu if the ACPI items are set to "module"!
