That's puzzling. It should still be loadable. All the current agpgart tree
is doing is basically enforcing agp=off if there's no agp card present.
That shouldn't prevent the module from actually loading, or it's symbols being
referenced by other modules.

Hrmm, it's puzzling that you also are unable to resolve drm_open and drm_release.
That may be a follow-on failure from the first, but it seems unlikely.

DaveA, any clues ?
