I have the Gigabyte GA-7DX.  I had to do some trickery with the kernel
to agpgart loaded.  I could compile it as a module, the insmod it with
'agp_try_unsupported=1', but couldn't figure out a way to have it
compiled into the kernel and get it to load.

I later figured out that my video card won't support this.  I did get
2x running, though.
