I fear this is the good old intel chipset problem again. Without the agpgart
module it won't support the extended BIOS calls to let it know there's more
memory available, and with the 832KB it detects it can't do much. Is this
a general problem for X users, or are all these reports tied to a single
distribution? I see these problems marching by on this mailinglist in a
very regular pattern.
