Yes, that is also an option, although I generally prefer the in-kernel
drivers if they support my hardware and there is no compelling reason
to use the out-of-tree versions.

The FAQ is out of date. Check the release notes for the current release:

You might want to try a more recent kernel than 2.6.12. Since you
have a PCIe card/system, and probably have no AGP bridge to begin
with, you really don't need AGP support at all. A 2.6.18 kernel will
allow you to build the necessary DRM drivers without requiring AGP
support.
