My advice is don't bother with 2.5 kernels.  Gateway's site isn't any 
better than lspci (I think that's very funny).

But Intel's site makes me think you have an Intel 852 (GM rather than 
GME).  So the XFree86 site says you want the i810 driver (xfree 4.3.0) 
and kernel support for AGP GART.  Give that a try.

I don't have a box with X handy to tell you how to get that driver, but 
ask if you need to.
