Sounds strange. IMHO this is one chipset specific agp module to much. You might try to disable PCI hotplug (remove "06" in COLDPLUG_PCI_CLASSES_WHITELIST in /etc/sysconfig/hotplug) , reboot and load one of the agp modules manually and see if that helps to run testgart. Most likely the amd-k7-agp module is the right one.
I tried that, after booting in runlevel 3 there were no agp moduls loaded. I modprobe amd_k7_agp but testgart and X failed. What I noticed is an error message in /var/log/messages:
May 14 17:02:04 gruyere kernel: agpgart: Unsupported Via chipset (device id: 3188), you might want to try agp_try_unsupported=1.
Then please unload amd-k7-apg module (if possible, otherwise reboot) and try the other agp module (IIRC via-agp). Send us the output of "lspci -n" as well.
This comes no matter wether I try sytsem agpgart or fglrx internal agpart. I tried the agp_try_unsupported=1 parameter both with agpgart and fglrx but they compain about not knowing that parameter.
Yes, this parameter is not supported any longer as the agp support is splitted now in different agp modules.
BTW, shouldn't we keep these mails on suse-xfree86@suse.com?
