I had to rebuild the kernel with 2.6.19 (which is the first kernel to have support for the intel agp device). You will need the "kernel-package" package. Download the source of the kernel from one of the kernel.org mirrors and then expand it into a directory (say) ~/src copy /boot/config... from your existing debian machine into ~/src/.config then make menuconfig (or other kernel config tool). I have an Intel DG965SS motherboard and in order to allow it to recognise my IDE DVD RW (I have SATA hard drives) I had to make IDE support builtin (as opposed to a module) AND the use "all-generic-ide" boot parameter then use make-kpkg to build you a deb for your machine which you then install (There are full instructions in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz) -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk
