I have a VIA-based chipset, and that's how my config is set. The menu
structure in "make menuconfig" for that section seems to suggest that's how
it needs to be done.

However, the OP is using i810, which is an Intel chipset, so the correct
options in that case is the Intel i8xx support (CONFIG_AGP_INTEL) rather
than CONFIG_AGP_VIA.
