have you checked for agpgard support in your kernel as mentioned
above in the startx output?

Add the following to your kernel -

device      agp

You can add some comments if you like -

# Video

device      agp          #Graphics card

Then recompile your kernel.  If it still doesn't work, 
I guess something else is borked.  I usually have my 
best success configuring X using the old-fashioned 
xf86config command and working through the subsequent 
question-and-answer.
