I'm not sure why the agpart device doesn't exists (maybe the module doesn't
create the device node itself) but to make it work without agpart you have to
set the I810_UNSUPPORTED_GTT_FALLBACK env variable:
setenv I810_UNSUPPORTED_GTT_FALLBACK 1
or
export I810_UNSUPPORTED_GTT_FALLBACK=1

before startx.
