2.6.3 AGP fallback to slower speeds

What version X11 are you running?
What video driver and version?
What is the AGP chipset?

Ati 9000s are famous for lack of OSS support even

>From the looks of the messages, I'd say that the kernel
and modules aren't recognizing the VIA AGP chipset. May
be too new?
