It's hard to see something that doesn't exist... it's not relevant.

No, that's because agpgart for the Apple UniNorth chipset only works in

The easiest solution is to add
deb http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/debian/dri-trunk/ ./
to /etc/apt/sources.list, install the xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk and
drm-trunk-module-src packages and build the DRM from the latter.
