The intel815 hardware doesn't work without agpgart
(unlike most other chips which only need it for 3D):
XFree86 v3 and v4 have different agpgart interfaces.

You might be able to recompile your old the i815-enabled agpgart
module to wirk with 2.6, but it was designed for a 2.2 kernel,
so this may not be trivial.

I'd suggest that you upgrade to XFree86 v4.4 (or at least v4.something).

If you can't, and don't have the i815-enabled 2.2 agpgart source,
I think I may still have a copy.
