Did some testing with LiveCDs-
with Linux 2.6.16.7 kernel (Puppy Linux), the result is:

agp0: Detected an Intel 915GM chipset
agp0: detected 16124k stolen memory
agp0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000

So it seems there is a problem in the NetBSD kernel for detection of 
this AGP device. I am new to this, how should I proceed/log a bug report?
