Intel Framebuffer Problems


I have successfully compiled xorg-server 7.2 and everything seems to be fine. I've also downloaded the latest intel drivers however I'm having a problem with them. Perhaps you can shed some light. I get framebuffer errors which I'm guessing are a matter of the dedicated graphics using shared memory? Here's the errors:

Code:
(EE) intel: No matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(EE) intel(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRam set too low?
(EE) intel(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRam set too low?
(EE) intel(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRam set too low?
(EE) intel(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRam set too low?
(EE) intel(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRam set too low?
(EE) intel(0): Couldn't allocate video memory

Here's my log file:


I'm running kernel 2.6.20 and theres a headerfile for agpgart.h in /usr/src/linux-2.6.20/include/linux/
