DetailsDescription: I have a Dell Dimension 2200 with an i810 chipset. The first time I installed Arch Linux I managed to install and run X without any sort of driver issues. After deciding I'd rather have Gnome instead of Fluxbox I reinstalled Arch Linux, formatting the harddrive and all. This time around, I was unable to run X because I was hit with 'gartinit: unable to open /dev/agpgart'. This was all using the same installation procedure as before, when I installed Fluxbox. Which, btw was the 2008.03 ISO in FTP mode. The only thing different was that I set DHCP to enabled when I configured my network during FTP install. I ended up reinstalling 2 more times, switching between xf86-video-i810 and xf860-video-intel drivers and even tried installing the packages from the CD. Nothing worked. Finally I was able to get the AGP error to go away and finally get X running by downloading intel-agp.ko from a member on IRC (jeebusmobile), installing module-init-tools and running 'insmod intel-agp.ko'.

"Installing module-init-tools" and "downloading intel-agp.ko" does not sound like you're using a standard installation of archlinux, where intel-agp.ko is part of kernel26 and module-init-tools is part of the base installation.

This can be closed - I did not take out the install CD during setup of X.
