Any reason you are using such an old kernel? Debian testing should
have something newer, or at least in Debian unstable (which I run
myself). Make sure you upgrade all xorg and mesa packages as well.
Even Debian experimental might be worth it, what's stable and released
elsewhere is called experimental in Debian :)

If you try AGP again, make sure you don't enable FastWrites. For more
debugging, you would have to show us your Xorg.0.log.
