Hmm, this looks bad. Did you upgrade your bios or something? I've seen 
certain bios revisions where agp is just broken...
You _could_ use Option Bustype pci in your xorg.conf, but a better idea 
would be to fix that mapping conflict. This is an agpgart problem 
however, maybe the kernel guys would know more about the problem.
