It used to work because older versions of the driver defaulted to the lowest
AGP mode (1x or 4x).  The default behavior was later changed to leave the AGP
mode as set by the bios which proved more reliable in most instances.  There
are exceptions like your board.  Now we add quirks for specific problematic
combinations.
