Bug#432051: xserver-xorg-video-i810: fails to start on a mobo with a Intel Corporation G965 Integrated Graphics and 8MB of videoram
Some i965 are only supported in the upcoming 2.6.22. Although your i965
should be supported for a long time from what I see in the kernel
changelog, maybe some fixes of 2.6.22 are required.
You should check what dmesg says when you load the intel_agp kernel
module. It is the one that should make /dev/agpgart appear and solve the
following error:
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(WW) intel(0): /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available
for allocation. Using pre-allocated memory only.
Looking at dmesg while i915 and drm modules might also show whether DRI
will work with this kernel.
If you don't want to compile a 2.6.22 kernel (actually, a 2.6.22-rc7,
which is pretty close to the upcoming final 2.6.22), use the following
in your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel trunk main
or just take a kernel package from
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/
