heres the error i get when i try to start x with my i810 chip: GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
I810(0): AGP GART support is not available. Make sure you kernel has agpgart support or that the agpgart kernel module is loaded.

so how go i get this agpgart thing ive tried emerge agpgart but theres no such thing :(

I'm assuming your running Gentoo since you tried emerge. When you compiled your kernel you must not have included agpgart directly or as a module. Also when you emerged XFree, did you emerge xfree-drm? That is necessary for direct rendering for your video. You may try to recompile your kernel with "make oldconfig" then selecting agpgart as a module. Hope that helps.
