yes, but do they (OIDs, drm, agp) work correctly afterwords?

my experience was that on 6.1-RELEASE if i loaded agp and/or  i915drm
after acpi_video then they wouldnt work, xorg would fail with a message
along the lines of

"/dev/agpgart" no such file or directory

and the sysctls for turning on and off the screen from acpi_video wouldnt
do anything.

as always, YMMV, :-)
