[gentoo-amd64] another "little" problem appeared (ATI driver/direct rendering/kernel)

[Michel Merinoff <mike_merinov@yahoo.co.uk>]

Well, I had been using the kernel 2.6.17-r8 and everything seemed ok
with the subj. But then I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.18-r1, and there's
one feature I can't get started with.
As it is said in a few faqs (including gentoo faq) of howto install DRI,
in order to get the thing working you must enable kernel agp support
with the proper driver installed. My driver seemed to be
CONFIG_AGP_AMD64. It was enabled in the kernel previous, it is enabled
in the kernel actual:
michel@michelle /usr/src/linux $ cat .config|grep AGP_AMD64
CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y

But it is not seen when I use make menuconfig. I syncronically checked
all the options which were enabled at the previous kernel, but it did
not appear, and I can't find out why. I tried to check dependencies, but
didn't succeed.

And the thing is dri doesn't work with 2.6.18-r1. I checked 2.6.17-r8,
it does.
