Well, whatever you have is obviously not supported, FWIW.
Since (almost?) any modern i386-based video card uses AGP, I'm pretty
certain it's the same. A quick search also suggest recent developments
in various Open Source projects around this card, which further supports
this idea.
Wait for 3.9? Or just stick to console mode for now.
