What does dmesg say about agp?

In my AMD64 the AGP comes from:
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support
If I have
Processor type and features --->
IOMMU support
selected, then the /dev/agpgart is automatically selected, and I don't
have the 'AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support' available.

Did you mention which chipset you have, maybe I missed it. Anyway I
don't think that a VIA chipset wouldn't be supported. Even my K8T800Pro
worked with 2.6.12 and lspci lists it in 2.6.14.
You can always try the 'agp_try_unsupported=1' option (if you use agp as
a module). If the agp is in the kernel, give that as a kernel parameter.
Once again, check what dmesg says about agp.

I don't know what might have changed between 2.6.11 and 2.6.12
concerning the agp, sorry :(
