Have you got agpgart in the kernel? I suspect not. Having it as a
module and loading it before starting X (e.g. via /etc/modules) should
work too...

The fglrx package *will* overwrite the GL stuff - apparantly they do
hardware accelleration of it, whereas the generic VESA one doesn't.
If you don't need the old vesa one, you could:
dpkg --force-overwrite --install fglrx_4.3.0-4.14_i386.deb
(you probably have to convert it to a .deb first and then install
separately....)
Hope this helps
