Apparently from your logs, you didn't follow the instruction from the
FAQ on following -current, and did't create /dev/agp0.

Yes, it is, but apparently it doesn't cope with a missing agp device as
well as the i810 driver. These kind of annoying behaviours explain why
we are keeping the old i810 driver for now on i386.
