As far as I can tell.  The BIOS setup didn't have a particular AGP
on/off entry, but all the entries seemed reasonable to me and are the
factory defaults.  The box is a Dell Dimension 3000 if that helps.

I'm currently running a -CURRENT kernel from Mon Dec 19 11:21:13 PST and
it properly detects the AGP, the /dev/agppart device appears, and the X
server is fine.  I'm assuming that means AGP is enabled in my BIOS.  If
that's a bad assumption, do you know how I can test it?

In case it helps, I've included a dmesg from the Dec 19 kernel.
