	Prior to the recent xorg update I had both /dev/agpart and
	acpi_video working.  This required pulling down a driver
	from FreeBSD 7 as the two bits of functionality were mutually
	exclusive and I needed both.  See the freebsd-x11 archives
	for what I did.

	If you don't need acpi_video the /dev/agpart was working
	prior to the recent xorg updated.   This was with a ports
	updated on 2009 Jan 21 23:31 UTC.

	I've not been game enough to try the recent xorg update.
	I think I'll let the FreeBSD 7 users work out their problems
	then when they appear to be stable I'll try a upgrade.

	Mark
