========================================
Did u do mknod /dev/agpgart c 10 175
For XFree86-4.0.2
=======================================
I'm using linux-2.4.2/XFree86-4.0.2 on i810 with sound.
For kernel 2.4.x the agpgart protocol has been
changed a lot. So only XFree86-4.x./above will work.
You can get XFree86-4.0.2 binary from
from http://people.debian.org/~branden/woody/i386/
or append this line into ur /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ebranden/ woody/$(ARCH)/
compile ur kernel with all i810 agp/sound modules.
mknod /dev/agpgart c 10 175
make a symbolic link to X from ur latest XFree86.
prepare ur XF86Config file.
( I have attached my config file along)
startx, hopefully it should work. I get 1024x768:24bit
with onboard sound card working
