Please think about to change the kernel config in the following lines:

CONFIG_AGP=y

Reason is, nvidia drivers can use their own agp support. On some machines, using nvidia drivers and native kernel agp support will freeze X in several cases. Users could add !agpgart to the modules section of the rc.conf, and use nvidias agp.

CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KOBIL_SCT=m

This and the other usb serial devices might be compiled as modules. They do no harm if you don't use such a device, on the other hand, people who use them can run genuine arch kernels.
This task depends upon

CONFIG_AGP is already Y.

I'll look at adding the other one for the next release.

Oh, I see. You want it to be built as a module.

I've noticed that, in 2.6, if AGP is built as modules, direct rendering is not properly detected and enabled in X. Not for my radeon cards, anyway.

I've included CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KOBIL_SCT, but I can't build the AGP drivers as modules or they don't activate at boot-up (or at insmod).
