I'm getting this error when i type "startx" Is it because linux does not
support my video card chipset?

(--) SVGA: unable to open /dev/agpgart: No such device

Fatal server error:
aborting

I have a Dell Optiflex GX 110 /w a onboard video card. The video card has
the following spec:

Intel(R) 810e Chipset Graphics Driver (DC133 FSB133)
Graphics and Video
Graphics architecture Intel Dynamic Video Memory (DVM) technology
Graphics accelerator Intel Direct Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) 2D and 3D
graphics accelerator
Display cache 4-MB, 133-MHz synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM)
Graphics memory Dynamically assigned from system memory
Video resolutions 800 x 600 pixels; 85-hertz (Hz) refresh rate with 16.7
million colors
1024 x 786 pixels; 85-Hz refresh rate with 64,000 colors
1280 x 1024 pixels; 85-Hz refresh rate with 256 colors
1600 x 1200 pixels; 75-Hz refresh rate with 256 colors

You need to install a specific driver for it, I had the same problem with my
onboard video card, although a different one. I also have a Dell at work, might
be a coincidence, might not be, but, I don't know where you can download this
driver, but once I installed it on my PC, Startx worked perfectly.

you can find the drivers for the 810e chipset at
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/linuxpredrivr.htm

I've installed it on a similar machine, suse 6.4, kernel 2.2.16 and get a similar
error -

(--) SVGA: error doing ioctl(GARTIOCINFO): Invalid argument
Fatal server error:
aborting

your missing /dev/agpgart error should be corrected by the above install - it does
get setup. I wish I knew where my invalid argument was coming from though.

Okay - my problem was not recompiling the module as specified by Intel,
Andy you should get things up and working by following the intel link,
they also have a discussion group if you run into more difficulties.
