The missing module is a kernel module - not an XFree86 one.
Here's the relevant bits from my config (BX440 board):
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
# CONFIG_AGP_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set
CONFIG_DRM=y
As you can see, there's a specific option for i810 AGP. It can be
compiled into the kernel, or as a module.
You can find these options in the "Character Devices" section, if you
use menuconfig or xconfig.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Peter.
