I am using 2.2.18 and have agp, via, dri compiled in the kernel, but leaving mga as a module and i guess I have the same problem as you. X4.02 crashes my machine at 16 and 32bpp. I guess it has to do will drm. When i check the XF86 website, it seems to be that they suggested kernel 2.4.x kernel. I haven't given it a shot yet. and i also said in the site that disable the dri in the kernel for 2.4.x. (don't know about 2.2.18)
