OK so your card will do 4X AGP but your motherboard only 2X. IIRC, there
is an option in /etc/modules.d/nvidia where you can force 2X AGP on VIA
chipsets. There may be something similar for AMD. Post the above file
and we might find something there. A quick search on google found

which seems to indicate that you mak be locked to AGP 1X due to lockups
experienced with your chipset. You might look to see if there is a line
there that seems to limitAGP. Comment it out and restart X. Do:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status again and see if that helps. Then run
glxgears for 5 minutes or so to see if you lock up. If it locks, 1X is
going to be your limit, I'm afraid.
Or do what I did and replace my nVidia AGP card with a PCI one. Performance seems the same (not much of a gamer) but best of all, no more lockups!
