Since I'm using X 4.0 with kernel 2.4.0-test11 and everything is
running perfectly, I guess it must be the specific driver to your
video card - or something to do with the agpgart module (which isn't
used with my card yet).
Did you try "Option NoAccel" in your XF86Config? You may want to try
enabling/disabling individual acceleration options there to see which
one is causing problems... The first thing I'd try would be disabling
direct rendering.
