AGP is not unsupported but it is problematic. I'm trying to solve the problem but trial-and-error style testing didn't solve all the problems so I'm now trying to write a simple test case to exploit the agp transfer problems and fix them. My own system is currently running with only about a glyph lost per hour in agp mode with some 3D game running. But that is not yet acceptable solution so it takes sometime before the agp problem will be fixed. (For me old card in PCI mode is running nearly 10 times slower than in agp mode so it isn't option)
