   The agp driver is for your motherboard chipset, not your video card.   
   What motherboard are you running?  Which agp driver you use will depend   
   on that.

   Framebuffer is if you're not running X.  It is very primitive and probably   
   not what you want.  I don't think you can run agp w/ it.
