Many thanks for your time and your effort. As i have replied to 
fa.linux.kernel list, i'm not sure you receive it. Your patch has greatly 
simplify my problem. And it's incorporated in the last mm release 
(2.6.10-mm2). The fallback to AGP works (but the BIOS doesn't initalized AGP 
bridge correctly as well so..). I have sent some information to IWILL 
technician as well as a a link to our discussion and i'm waiting information.

Best regards,

Vincent
