I haven't actually used 2.4.0 yet, but today I re-installed my machine
onto a gateway-everything-built-into-the-motherboard-crap machine which
happens to have an i810.
I didn't actually do anything special. I replaced the s3-xserver
package with the svga-xserver package, recompiled the kernel with
agpgart support, and it just worked. Didn't even have to change my
XF86Config file or anything.
I was expecting lots of trouble, but it was a breeze. Even the onboard
sound worked first go.
I believe that 2.4.0 has agpgart support the same as 2.2.18. This is
using X 3.3.6 (from Potato).
HTH,
