Just put linux on a new machine. It has a "Intel G33/G21 Express Family" video on the motherboard. Windows runs it fine (even in games). Xorg on Linux can run it only as vesa but then the screen is sized funny and off to one side and it insists on running in 16 bit mode.
I downloaded the driver from intel. ./configure --prefix/usr and the usual make make install. Edited xorg.conf. Ran startx. Fail.
log from running startx:
Code:

With regard to the existance of that file:
Code:
root@darkstar root # ls -l /dev/agpgart
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 175 2001-03-25 16:04 /dev/agpgart
root@darkstar root #
The file exists.
Odd that the error output mentions agpgart, as this is not an agp video card: it is a video "card" on the motherboard.
and, of course, the xorg.conf in question:
