[vox-tech] monitor troubles

[Jennifer Stickel]

I did build it as a module into the kernel and modprobe -a agpgart gives

WARNING: Module agpgart already in kernel

I also tried modprobe intel-agp

This one eliminates the error message and by specifying the amount of 
video RAM in XF86config I don't get any error messages in the 
XF86config.0.log file.  But I do get these lines

(II) I810(0): Not using mode "1024x768" (no mode of this name)
(II) I810(0): Increasing the scanline pitch to allow tiling mode (640 -> 
1024).
(--) I810(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 1024)
(**) I810(0):  Built-in mode "640x480"
(II) I810(0): Attempting to use 73Hz refresh for mode "640x480" (41)
(--) I810(0): Display dimensions: (300, 220) mm
(--) I810(0): DPI set to (54, 55)
