I'm not sure what the "AGP version" is but I'm definitely using a Diamond Fire GL 1000 with X-windows. You'd want to use the XF86_3DLabs server with it if you're using a fairly recent version of XFree86. Otherwise, there used to be a good 3DLabs server available from XSuSE that you may be able to find on SuSE's website (try http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html). I also use 1024x768x16 as my standard resolution/color depth. I'm running Mandrake 6.0 with kdm (runlevel 5) which requires me to add a "DefaultColorDepth 16" line to my screen section in my XF86Config in order to get the 16 bit color depth. If you're not going to be using kdm, you'd probably want something like "startx -- -bpp 16" in your .bash_profile (somebody may want to correct me on this; this is where I used to have it, I think) to achieve the same thing.
