I set this up on a colleague's machine a couple of weeks ago. I used
the version of the agpgart module that's available for compilation at
the Intel site, and in addition the special X server they have for
download (XFCom_810), which is said to work faster and more reliably
with this chipset than the svga server.
You'll find very explicit step-by-step instructions at:
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/release_notes_1.htm.
There's also a PDF file from Intel which contains essentially the same
instructions, which I can send you if you'd like.
This was under XFree 3.3.6 on a standard potato installation. No need
to recompile X. You'll have a slightly non-standard system, but it
works well,
Jim
