hi, I just try to start X Windows under my new kernel 2.6.0. However, I found there are errors like:
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such device)
(EE) I810(0): AGP GART support is not available. Make sure your kernel has
agpgart support or that the agpgart kernel module is loaded.
I am pretty sure that I compile agp support and Intel i810 support into my kernel. Do some guys have any idea about this? BTW, my video card in Intel 810.
Thanks much
modprobe & modules.conf
On my Debian Sid with 2.6.0-1-test6, I have to load the module intel_agp.
You can try modprobe intel-agp to test.
It is not specific to i810 but for other intel video chipsets.
For i810 & i815 the module must be loaded in order to have XFree working, for others it musn't but you won't have full support.
For frame-buffer suppport go on http://i810fb.sourceforge.net/

That worked for Mandrake 9.2 but
there is a slight difference. I'm using 2.6.2rc2, downloaded from Mandrake Cooker ( testing/unstable) and loading intel_agp as you suggested got XFree86 working but I still can't get i810fb to load - it fails with a message about unknown symbol or parameter. Checking dmesg show that it doesn't recognize 'hwcur' as an option.
This must be built into the module as removing hwcur=1 from /etc/modules.conf had no effect.
Note: I have a Dell Optiplex GX150 with a Intel 815 chip.
Correction
Oops, kernel 2.6 uses modprobe.conf not modules.conf. Got it working by
removing the hwcur and xcon options from modprobe.conf and adding intel_agp and i810fb to /etc/modules.preload to have them load automatically at boot.
modprobe intel-agp worked for me
I upgraded from Debian's 2.4.24-1-686 to 2.6.3-1-686 and X broke. I was receiving the following messages:
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such device)
(EE) I810(0): AGP GART support is not available. Make sure your kernel has agpgart support or that the agpgart kernel module is loaded.
Running "modprobe intel-agp" did the trick, and I was able to start X again. I then added this module to the "/etc/modules" file.
-BEF-
not working for me [FIXED]
without the intel-agp module, x works but mplayer -vo xv doesn't.
with the intel-agp module, x doesn't start anymore.
Any idea?
[Response to me later on]
Was problem with 865G chipset in Xfree 4.3.0 (-pre5 < x < -3)
4.3.0-5 fixed it.
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such device)
Please Try to compile the kernal with module "i2c" support and all the sub modules under this head. First i tried without this optin and I faced the same problems. But after recompiling the kernal with these options i am able to run graphic on both 810 and 815 Graphics.
And see i810 and framebuffer under documention for more detail.
I am sure that it will work for U also.
Regards
modprobe intel-agp
thanks people for the help,i've been trying
for a while to get intel i810 to load x and
finally got it by reading these posts. i added intel-agp
to modprobe.preload file at the bottom and it starts x
when the pc boots. im on mandrake 10, and have x start on
boot in the control panel,hardware,videocard, run config tool and
press options. a box comes up asking to start x on boot.
agpgart support not available
Repected Sir
I have Compiled Linux from scratch [ LFS-4.0 ] ( I will move to LFS-6.0 after successful Completion of LFS_4.0 and BLFS-1.0 ), Now I am LFS'er but not BLFS'er bcaz when I try to compile XFree86 by introducing the following changes in kernel configuration
[*] MTRR
[*]Direct Render MAnager
<*>/dev/agpgart
then all chipsets are selected as modules ,And What so over( As BLFS Book-1.0 Chapter 26 says)
but at the end I get errors like
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(EE) I810(0): AGP GART support is not available. Make sure your kernel > has
agpgart support or that the agpgart kernel module is loaded.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Also When I try to insmod/modprobe the agpgart module, I am Welcomed with
