Dave,
    Thanks for the clarifications. So I assume that if I use the ATI
fglrx driver with its "use internal agpgart code" option set to no that
the only reason the kernel agpgart module might get loaded on a machine
with a PCI-E graphics card would be to satisfy the fglrx kernel module
dependencies (since a single version of the fglrx kernel module is
used with all ATI cards). However on a PCI-E based machine the loaded
agpgart module would be dead unused code as far as the real operations
of the fglrx driver were concerned.
             Jack
