You _can_ include permanently the agpgart in your kernel, so
it should not complain at boot time.
For this you must:
1. use a _very_ recent kernel source (I believe that G400 support
in agpgart was only added around 2.4.0 - something, better use
the latest, 2.4.0-test6 as I am writing ...)
2. specify it in your kernel configuration ("Y" not "M" for
agp drm support and related options for your mainboard chipset
and video chipset).
Anyway the agpgart is _not_ supported by any 2.2.x kernel
as in Mandrake distribution, it's _only_ supported by
_development_ kernels. You have been warned ...
If you just ignore the message, your XFree will still work,
only it will _not_ use any 3D hw acceleration.
