My system works like a charm with AGP 8x (from /var/log/Xorg.0.log):

I use startx, not gdm, in case that matters.

Maybe you should look into the radeon kernel driver. There used to be
some 32-bitness issues here and there, but I thought they were all fixed
before 6.0. Maybe there have been some new bugs introduced in CURRENT?
