That would be
Code:
Driver "i810"

in your XF86Config-4 file. Just google for "xfree driver 82845 intel" to get tons of info...

Now I'm getting the Errors:

Code:
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(EE) I810(0): No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.


This is how my XF86Config is set up right now, I'm sure there are things I need to change:

Code:
Section "Module"   
   Load   "dbe"
#   Load   "glx"   
SubSection  "extmod"   

EndSubSection   

   Load   "type1"   
   Load   "freetype"   
   Load   "ddc"

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"   

   Identifier   "Keyboard1"   
   Driver   "keyboard"   

   Option   "XkbModel"   "pc105"   
   Option   "XkbLayout"   "us"

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"   
   Identifier   "Mouse1"   
   Driver   "mouse"   

   Option   "Protocol"   "IMPS/2"   
   Option   "Device"   "/dev/psaux"   
   Option   "Z Axis Mapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"   
   Identifier   "Monitor1"   
   HorizSync   30-50   
   VertRefresh   60   

   Option   "dpms"

EndSection

Section "Device"   
   Identifier   "Video1"   
   Driver   "i810"

EndSection

Section "Screen"   




What are they?

I think you need to compile agp support as module in your kernel.

I can only tell you for 2.6er kernels, mind you, but it's bound to be quite similar in 2.4er kernels.
In your kernel config, in the 'character devices' section, there is an option called '/dev/agppart support'. Select it. Now, a selection of video chip types appears, from which you check the one featuring something like 'i8xx' (sic).
