In any case - in theory, in the 'Character devices' section of the kernel, scroll all the way to the bottom and select '/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)' - then select 'Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)' and in its submenu, select your graphics card (hopefully its there - mine is, ATI Rage 128).
Save your new config & compile. Wish for the best ;)

However - I'm pretty sure that you need to have DRI compiled for your kernel (which it may or may not be for Stew's 2.4.4-6.2) before XF-4.1 can access it. This may be the problem.

What did you find out about GLX? I've got mine enabled and most
applications are running.. although slowly.
I've enabled it in my config, but glxinfo tells me:
direct rendering: No
...
OpenGL vendor string: VA Linux Systems, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 3.4
And during the starting of X it says:
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a
(II) Module glx: vendor="The XFree86 Project"

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module dri
(II) UnloadModule: "dri"
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
The release notes for 4.1.0 claim there is support for DRI under linux/ppc
with that version.
