Yes, I see. :( The code mostly allocates the resources for the AGPGART
driver beyond the real memory space, thus preventing the X server to
work. Sometimes the resource is also mapped to where the resource of
the graphic card resides (address 0x88000000, compare with the included 
iomem file).
The AGP aperture should generally be located "outside" of those spaces.
That is above RAM and in some place where no device already resides...
It can be made to overlap RAM but that isn't a good idea (that's what
happens on Macs though due to a bug in the Apple chipset).
Ahh, so the AGP aperture should not be within the memory space and any other
PCI/IO address range. Slowly but surely I become confused. ;-)
I don't see anything related to AGP in your output... you didn't post
the lspci as root thus it's missing all the useful infos ;)
I included a new lspci output log. :-) (now done as root)
Also, the AGP base isn't generally a PCI BAR of the bridge... it is one
in your case ?
I'm afraid I can't answer this question (you know, we have no datasheet for
the ArticiaS yet). From what I can see in the log, there is an unassigned
memory region (type 0, should be <4GB I guess). Could this affect AGP
operation?
