#1) If all else fails, you could probably set up the card under a text
terminal - granted this would take some additional effort for those used
to GUI configuration, but it is still an option (one which _might_ consume
less time)

#2) I don't think you will need the agpgart module for an i810 - usually
the only people who use that are people who want to run OpenGL.

#3) You could try installing all of the XFree86 servers (aka all of the
XFree86 RPMs) and then symlinking to different servers to see if one works
to your liking. This is a hack though.


Good luck.
