Have you thried with "agp_try_unsupported=1"?
modules.conf:

alias char-major-10-240 agpgarti810
[-]
# agpgart is i386 only right now
pre-install mga /sbin/modprobe "-k" "agpgart"
pre-install r128 /sbin/modprobe "-k" "agpgart"
pre-install radeon /sbin/modprobe "-k" "agpgart"
options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1
