Package: src:linux
Version: 5.6.7-1
Severiy: minor
Dear Debian folks,
The Kconfig help text for `AGP` is a little confusing (and maybe
outdated?) [1].
> You should say Y here if you want to use GLX or DRI.
Although selected in Linux’ default x86 configs
arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig
arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig
I do not think, it’s necessary to build this into the Linux kernel.
$ grep AGP /boot/config-5.6.0-1-amd64
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
The init functions are unnecessarily called as shown by `initcall_debug`.
So, it’d be great if this driver was built as a module (as DRM is also
built as a module). This will reduce the size of `bzImage` a little.
Kind regards,
Paul

Sorry, for being unclear. At least I am able to build Linux 5.6 and 5.7-rcX with AGP and the drivers built as modules. Kind regards, Paul

Ben. -- Ben Hutchings It's easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
