'indmod agpgart.o' .... You mean 'insmod agpgart' ?

So, did you check if the module really is there? Try
  find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name agpgart.o
No output? Then the module is not available for the kernel you are currently
using, despite your recompilations. Are you sure you did not forget the
steps
  make modules
  make modules_install  ?
Are you sure you are really running the kernel you compiled the agpgart
module for?

I think you must provide a little more information for someone being able to
help you.
