I was trying to install the agpgart module using modconf, into my kernel,

You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

Installation failed.
In syslog it says this:

Using kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4
What does al this mean?
You need to add agp_try_unsupported=1 as an option when loading the
module. I think modconf gives you an option to do this. I also
remember doing this because the module recommended it when I tried to
load it. But perhaps I read it somewhere else. Did you snip the
above error messages?
Anyway, modconf kindly added the following file to my system:
brain:/etc/modutils# cat /etc/modutils/agpgart
options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1
brain:/etc/modutils#
