Thank you. Your suggestion does enable direct rendering, but then it
doesn't work correctly. In fact X11 is completely screwed: I get a blue
screen with garbage at its top, the mouse pointer is displayed (as a
cross) and I can move it, but nothing happens when I click, and I can't
even kill X11 with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (Ctrl-Alt-F1/F6 don't work either)
so I have to push the reboot button in order to get out of it. (The
machine isn't network-connected.)
Actually, I noticed that when loading the agpgart module I get this
message:

you want to read it):

As far as I can judge (I'm really not an expert) it looks like I have
two different graphics controllers on my motherboard (unfortunately I
don't have the board's manual so I can't check), and agpgart finds the
wrong one. Is this correct? Is someone able to tell me what I should do?
Thanks again
Gerardo
P.S. the kernel is 2.4.22 from Debian testing.
