With standard 2.4.x kernel drivers, AGP 8x isn't supported for that chipset,
so 4x is strictly necessary, but I couldn't change it from the BIOS. However,
there's a way around this. On the Rage3D (www.rage3d.com) board, someone
posted a patch against the ATI FGLRX driver that teaches it how to support
the chipset even at 8x.
I don't have the patch handy right now, so you'll have to search the boards.
The patch also works for the latest driver release.

agp_try_unsupported is a module parameter for the agpgart module. It won't
really help.
