beryl/agpgart/i810/Intel 950 GMA

[mrspock at esfm.ipn.mx]

Thank you, guys.

My system has been updated to 6.2-STABLE and now
I can see my /dev/agpgart perfectly.

I think it is important to notice that 6.2-RELEASE does
not handle my video card: 950 GMA.

Thank you Reid,  thanks list.

          Eduardo.
