AGP speed

By default, the open source radeon driver forces 1x AGP speed. Quote from the developers: 

tuning to the highest speed possible has caused hangs on some boxes, with no
discernable pattern, so we default to 'slow but safe' whilst giving the option
to go fast if the user wants to try it.


Higher speeds can be enabled by adding Option "AGPMode" "X" (where X is a number) in the Device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
