Does not work.
I have removed the agp in kernel(there is no drm in my kernel), set the
sysctl.conf and the xorg.conf. Recompiled and restarted my laptop.
Xorg still crashed when I selecting the OpenGL Screen Saver.

I can use sysctl -a, here is the result:

BTW, I have tried games/apoolGL, crashed as it started.
