This rang a bell.. The ATI FireGL drivers have some funky
agpgart workaround, though it looks prone to false-positives..
agp_generic_agp_v2_enable() contains this addition..
#ifdef FGL_FIX
/* AGP 1x or 2x or 4x - at least one of this list */
/* mga g450 pci can be uncovered this way */
if (!(scratch & 7))
continue;
#endif /* FGL_FIX */
...
#ifdef FGL_FIX
/* set AGP enable bit - only if a valid mode was determined */
/* (a way to unhide mga g450 pci) */
if (command & 7)
#endif
