What card and chipset do you have? Mine is GeForce2 GTS on a Via KT333. It could also be related to the AGPGART module you're using, the nVidia drivers can use the AGPGART supplied with kernel or the nVidia one via an option in your XFree86 file (see their readme that comes with the drivers for exactly what this is) it might be worth trying that. failing that it could just be that you need a bios update, there's known bugs in via chipsets and AGP support for example. you could rule this out by trying the dreaded windows and some openGL/directX apps should you have it available.
