The missing module is a kernel module - not an XFree86 one. Here's the relevant bits from my config (BX440 board): CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y # CONFIG_AGP_I810 is not set # CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set # CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set # CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set # CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set # CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set CONFIG_DRM=y As you can see, there's a specific option for i810 AGP. It can be compiled into the kernel, or as a module. You can find these options in the "Character Devices" section, if you use menuconfig or xconfig. Hope this helps.
