There's your problem. Your kernel has no AGP GART support. While for most video cards that's just a nice feature for accelerated 3D support, for i810 systems it's *mandatory* for X to work, because all but 512kB (IIRC) of video memory has to be taken from main system memory. AGP GART is the only method used for doing this. You may be running a kernel that doesn't have the "agpgart" feature compiled-in, nor available as a module. It should be autoloaded when something tries to open /dev/agpgart. To find out if your kernel supports AGP GART, try the following: $ grep CONFIG_AGP /boot/config-$(uname -r) Just to be sure, though, try the following commands: $ modprobe agpgart -- G.
