I'm using 2.6.16-beyond-git12 here.
The agpgart is called "CONFIG_AGP". You have to select the correct
MB-chipset here, which is an SIS for me ("CONFIG_AGP_SIS").
Next, you need the DRM ("CONFIG_DRM") and the Radeon-support for it
("CONFIG_DRM_RADEON").

Here is my device-section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "device0"
Driver "radeon"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "backingstore" "true"
Option "VideoRam" "128"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "hw cursor" "off"
# This is for Xorg 7.0 to work correctly:
Option "ColorTiling" "off"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
EndSection
Be sure to add this section (you might have it already):
Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Good Luck,
Jannis Achstetter
