I found:
    alias char-major-10-175 agpgart

I have no idea what it means.

FWIW, 'insmod agpgart' loads the module, but detects the wrong video
card:
    agpgart: Detected Indel i845 chipset

After that 'startx' and the /var/log/XFree86.0.log are the same.

Thanks for trying.  We're not really rowing anywhere, but we sure are
stirring up the water :)
