Ah, not seen that, mine goes thus:

 - Config from 'X -configure' gives a very weird corrupt display which
   is allegedly 640x480.  DDC failure is likely cause of resolution

   (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE DDC supported
   (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE DDC Level 2
   (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE DDC transfer in appr.  1 sec.
   (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE DDC read failed

 - Wedge some Horiz/Vert values into the Monitor section to pretend
   that my LFP can do more than that, I get a blank screen but
   apparently it's correctly running 1024x768.

 - Go back to original config, but with "vesa" driver.  Get 640x480
   but at least it works.

 - Wedge values back in and successfully get up to 1024x768, but well,
   it's the vesa driver...

So I can't actually test whether the AGP driver helps or not, only
that doing some basic stuff to /dev/agpgard works.

Someone with more driver-fu than me being able to fix the i810 driver
would probably be more useful than just the AGP bit.  Worryingly a
semi-recent Ubuntu live CD doesn't work either so maybe this
particular model simply isn't supported.

Thanks,
