I have 2.60 test1-mm1 running fine (GRX550 with Gentoo, I do not have
the modem workign as I have not needed it) .Here is what I have in
"Character Devices" (the relevant part that is):

<*> /dev/agpgart (AGPSupport)
<*>   ALI chipset support
<*>   Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
<*>   SiS chipset support
<*>   VIA chipset support
[*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
<*>   ATI Radeon     

Now, I do not know exactly what chipset I have (Intel I think) so I have
not reduced my agpgart list. All are compiled into the kernel.

For the XFree86 conf file: not all of these are necessary, just showing
what I have in there. Also, this IS for the M7. Hopefully the M6 is
supported the same!:
