The problem occurs because X needs to initialize the secondary card, and
uses the BIOS for this. The BIOS assumes there's only one card, so X
needs to diable all other video cards. Since X only thinks it disabled
the other card, but actually did not, the BIOS code might put both cards
in unknown state.
Simple solution is:
Use old X, but immediatelly after starting it enable video memory of the
agp card with: (replace 1:0:0 with the address of your AGP card).
setpci -s 1:0:0 COMMAND=2
Other solutions are more complex and require understanding of the X
initialization process.
As an aside, if you don't use the console on vesafb, but only your
application, it might make sense to have the PCI card that runs X as a
primary card, and use svgalib on the second card.
