Nope. It's all kernel stuff. And it's all in the Device Drivers/
Character Devices section. If you compile those drivers as modules they
will be called agpgart, intel-apg and i915.

That part of my xorg.conf is completely unchanged, i.e. it's the same
that "X -configure" would spit out after autodetection:

Section "Device"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
        ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
        ### [arg]: arg optional

        #Option     "PageFlip"                  # [<bool>]
        Option      "Clone" "true"
        Option      "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "i810"
        VendorName  "Intel Corp."
        BoardName   "82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

OK, I added the "Clone" and "MonitorLayout" options to activate the
monitor port. But that's not related to DRM.
