agpgart is the device independant agp code.  agp-intel, agp-via,
agp-sis, etc. are the chipset specific agp drivers.  you need both of
them for agp support.  the drm provides kernel interface for the
graphics chip.  some examples are radeon, savage, i810, i830, i915,
tdfx, etc.  For the DRI to work you need a drm and a working agp
setup: in your case you'd need agpgart, agp-intel, i830 modules.
