I've seen something similar to this before when the agpart driver didn't
fully support the mobo's chipset and I  tried to force dri/drm support
(this is on a Via Apollo Pro KT266A chipset with a ATI Radeon 8500 QL).
The agpart driver's never gotten support for the KT266A (as opposed to
the KT266), so I can't hardware accel of things like OpenGL.
