Hi Felix Miata!

# From wikipedia!

My locate and modprobe -l output (grepped):

Here is a tutorial on the process:

# Do a "find on page agpgart"
http://users.netwit.net.au/~pursang/intel.html

Perhaps you did not call modprobe or insmod from root or from an
environment where it would easily find them.  Do a "updatedb" (as
root) and when that is finished (it will take some time) do a "locate
modprobe" (probably in /sbin).  Call it with full path.

Good Hunting!
