So it seems.  Thanks!

But, this still leaves some problems:

- The error message is not correct for linux-2.6.  It's giving a very 
specific diagnosis of the problem that isn't correct under 2.6 (or 
probably, under other kernels).
- The X configuarion program sets up agpgart to be loaded, but when I 
rerun it it doesn't set up intel-agp to be loaded.

Also, now X will start but the mouse doesn't work.  I have no idea why 
this would be, and can't give any useful diagnostic information.
