I run i810 (Dell box) fine, but I have newer XFree86 and kernel.

May 2000 == older than 6-12 months. :)

I think the 2.2 series is even up to like 2.2.20 (?)
I run 2.4.7 no problems.
It's not to rag on you for having older stuff,
but the agpgart things seem to have been developed
alot recently (I used to have to select experimental modules
for the agpgart.o to show up when configuring to compile the kernel,
but now I think it's standard)
