Have you tried loading the agp module first (kldload agp)?

I'm not quite sure if it'll work that way, since there is no AGP card/
chip in this machine. When booting the system, instead of the default
configuration, I asked loader to list the already-loaded modules by
"lsmod" and agp was among them. So I assume that it's trying to load
the agp module itself, but after booting "dmesg | grep agp" returns
nothing, thus no agp component in the system. To answer your question
though, no I have NOT put agp_load="YES" in loader.conf

any ideas?

Well, just judging from the Xorg log output you've posted, it appears
that the driver you're trying to use requires the agpgart device.

Try manually loading the agp driver after booting and logging in with:

kldload agp

Then verify that the device is created:

ls -l /dev/agpgart

Then try starting X again, or reconfiguring X once more.

If your device truly is *not* an AGP device, but the driver requires one,
then you've got a real problem, to say the least. :-) Are you
absolutely certain you're using the right driver?

Anyway, good luck!

"kldload agp" returns the following error message:
-----
kldload: can't load agp: File exists
-----
and so "ls /dev/" does not show any agp device...
