You can select somewhere in the config of X to use an external
agpgart. Try compiling agpgart as a module for your kernel (or if you
have done that already that would be even better), make sure the fglrx
module isn't loaded and load the appropiate agpgart module. Don't
forget to edit the X config on this point! Then start X and see if it
can connect to it.
At least, that's what I would do.
greets,
Wim
