It actually VERY unlikely that agpgart is your problem. VIA support has
been pretty solid in agpgart since I originally wrote agpgart. In fact
the first chipset that worked under agpgart was a VIA MVP3.
If your enabling the DRI, its actually going to use the same DMA
mechanism that 3D uses to get 2D commands to the card. Have you tried
the driver without the dri enabled? (i.e., Have you tried 8bpp or not
loading the dri/drm modules?)

I personally would suggest narrowing the problem down first before you
get experimental code. I also wouldn't suggest flashing the BIOS on a
video card unless you know exactly what your doing. Its possible that
you could render the card useless if you do it incorrectly.
