you need to load the agpgart module that is compadible with your i810
video since i810 shares memory with the system. on my sister's i810
system running 2.4.18(suse 8) the module is infact agpgart(I thought
it may be something else named after the card..)

I believe debian disables apm on the default kernels since not all
systems are compadible with it(my mom's CTX laptop for example will
crash hard when APM is turned on). You can possibly override this
by putting apm=on in the append statement for /etc/lilo.conf and
re-running lilo. if your using grub I'm not certain what the procedure
would be since I haven't configured grub yet.
