Fatal Server Error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

Hi all,

I have just installed Debian 4.0 "Etch", from the cover DVD of the
October edition of Linux Magazine.

X fails to start up. Fact: I know pretty much nothing about setting
about X!

I get the error in the subject line, and:

(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (no file or directory)
(EE) I810(0): Internal error:maxCacheLine < 0 in
I830Allocate2Dmemory()
(EE) I810(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your videoram set too
low ??


What could the problem be, and how do I fix it?

Thanks for your time!

Jim
