xf86-video-intel with G33 without agp?

Hi list,

I just got a new machine (Asus P5KPL-VM motherboard) with a intel G33
graphics chip in the northbridge. Xorg recognizes it as a G33;

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:02:0
(--) Chipset G33 found
(II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) G33

The problem is that the chip cannot allocate video memory.

(EE) intel(0): Couldn't allocate video memory

According to intel(4) allocating memory is usually done with the agp(4)
driver. This motherboard doesn't have agp, though. I've tried loading
the agp, i915 and drm kernel modules, but that doesn't help.

Is there any way to make this work? I've got X running with the VESA
driver but doesn't give a really good image.

Roland
