Thank you Michel.  If the module failed to load wouldn't that be reported by modprobe 
-v ?

[root@tire /root]# modprobe -rv agpgart
# delete agpgart
[root@tire /root]# depmod -a
[root@tire /root]# modprobe -v agpgart
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o
Using /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o
Symbol version prefix ''
[root@tire /root]#

I don't see where there is any problem reported with the module load.  That might be 
because I don't know what to look for.  Do you see a problem with what is reported 
here?

Aside from that, rebuilding the Win4Lin enabled kernel would require downloding and 
installing the kernel patches from Netravers.  I would rather not do that if there is 
nothing wrong with the existing kernel module.
