I am already using the "ati" driver. XFree86.0.log contains
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a
(II) Module GLcore: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.1.0.1, module version = 1.0.0
And I'd love to use 4.2 from Branden, but this box is sarge only, no
sid at all, and the latest 4.2.0 deb's depend on the libc6 which has
been stuck in sid for the last bits of eternity.

The relevant stuff from the logs:
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a
(II) Module dri: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.1.0.1, module version = 1.0.0

(II) R128(0): [agp] AGP Texture map mapped at 0x4150e000
And from the kernel config:
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_NEW=y
CONFIG_DRM_R128=y
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
And finally, from dmesg(8):
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M
agpgart: Detected Intel i815 chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe4000000

It *looks* alright, does it not?
