I don't use any of those, but the agpgart kernel module should be in the
directory:

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc

Remember that this module is NOT included with the stock 2.2.14-whatever
kernel that RH 6.2 comes with. It's included in the RPM for 2.2.16-3, available
from updates.redhat.com.

You don't need to build a new kernel for this. The module is already built and
included with RH's version of 2.2.16. It should auto-load as part of XF86
startup (at least, it always has for me), you don't need to insmod it yourself.

This worked ok for me with generic Intel i810E motherboards. The HP version may
be slightly different. If it still doesn't work, keep the 2.2.16-3 kernel and
get the RPMs for the new XF86 server and agpgart module from support.intel.com.

Good luck,
Greg
