The evil binary-only fglrx module has its own internal AGP support.  If 
the kernel is compiled with agpgart (or agpgart has been modprobed), 
then fglrx will use agpgart.  If not, it'll use its own internal 
support.  I'm not sure which one works better; I've been using agpgart 
here and XV works fine.

And Fionn, could you answer the questions I posed earlier?  Go ahead and 
mail your xorg.conf to my address (not the list!) and I'll diff it with 
mine and see if there are any glaring weirdnesses.
