for some reason I do not have VIA AGP support anymore. I used to have it but the only that is left is...
Code:
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
 <M>   AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support                                                             
 < >   Intel i865 chipset support

At one point I saw my VIA support in that list.

You don't say what kernel you're running. I have VIA AGP working in 2.6.5-r1. Here's the settings:

CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=m

Not too surprising... from drivers/char/agp/Kconfig:

Code:
config AGP_VIA
    tristate "VIA chipset support"
    depends on AGP && X86 && !X86_64


That option is explicitly disallowed for AMD64. But you shouldn't need it; just enable AGP_AMD64 instead ("AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support"). With that and the appropriate xorg.conf setting (Option "NvAGP" "2"), AGP works just fine.

Code:
> cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status:          Enabled
Driver:          AGPGART (inactive)
AGP Rate:        8x
Fast Writes:     Enabled
SBA:             Enabled
