ummmm.....I don't know what a lot of this means...but....

1) You do not need anything from intel.  In fact, I found that it only
messes things up!!
2) get yourself the latest kernel from kernel.org or however your distro
does it.  I suggest AT LEAST 2.4.21, more preferable 2.4.24
3) compile the new kernel.  You MUST include AGP support, i810 support and
MTRR among other things.  I think there's something else, but I can't
remember what it is.
4) make sure agpgart module is ok - use "modprobe agpgart"

I found that trying to use intel stuff actually screws things up!!  It's
designed for 4.2.1 (no idea why) and generally causes problems.  Their
agpgart package is just a nightmare - I could never get it to work.

So, try getting a recent 2.4 kernel and just use what's in there - it
should be enough.

ps - I don't actually know what any of those rpms are, so I haven't a clue
if they're useful.
