you can build with 2.0 no prob, u must ge tthe right driver though there
are several versions. You can find it in the XF86 3.3.6 source
distribution.
or you can download it from me:
http://www.firetrail.com/~aphro/agpgart-source.tar.gz
make sure the version-test.sh is executable when compiling it or it will
puke. ive used this on about 10 different boxes.

as far as stability is concerned both 2.1 and 2.2 are about the same, the
only prob i had in 2.1 is that the keyboard would not work with a display
manager (XDM, KDM etc) using the i810, but works fine in 2.2 (dont think
its related but never know..)
