What problems exactly?
With both Gnome and KDE, I just get a messed up screen; I can see bits of each desktop environment and the mouse works, but they're unusable.

Indeed, you're right about the kldstat flag! There's my i810 driver!
Code:
$ kldstat -v | grep agp
                408 hostb/agp_ali
                409 hostb/agp_amd
                410 hostb/agp_amd64
                411 hostb/agp_ati
                412 vgapci/agp_i810
                413 hostb/agp_intel
                414 hostb/agp_nvidia
                415 hostb/agp_sis
                416 hostb/agp_via
Some more specifics on the hardware:
Monitor: Sceptre 19" 4:3 1280x1024
Video: Onboard Intel 815 4MB RAM. Max bit depth: 16

Here's some interesting stuff from my Xorg.0.log. Important?
Code:
...
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "i810"
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
(EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed.  Disabling DRI.
...
Any ideas??? I've been working at this for a few days.
