I think the problem is some people mistakenly belive that the agp
driver somehow conveys some sort of performance that a PCI attachment
does not. This is false. Printing your attach as being on the pci bus
doesn't mysteriously reach in and change your hardware from an agp
slot to a PCI slot somehow.

The only time you *need* the agp driver is when your software needs a
special feature that isn't otherwise available.
