Hello,

I see this message in the 2.6.1-rc3-bk3 kernel log:
agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
agpgart: Too many northbridges for AGP

This results in <100 FPS in glxgears, and I am unable to play the tuxracer 
game :-). With 2.6.0-x8664-1 however I get 450 FPS (approx), and all was 
well.

Upon applying this patch (making it identical to 2.6.0-x86-64 that is):

 /* PTE bits. */
 #define GPTE_VALID     1

Of course that maybe a wrong approach. But that makes things a lot better, and 
I see this message in the kernel log:
agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 941M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xd0000000

And the number of FPS in glxgears is back to normal (450 FPS approx).

Here is the 'lspci' information from my K8T800 chipset based Gigabyte 
GA-K8VNXP board (and there seems to be 4 AMD K8 north bridges):
