I've got the same chipset on my laptop, to get native resolution on the 
lcd panel you'll probably have to use the sysutils/915resolution package.

You may also want to use modular-xorg instead of the shipped XFree86, in 
particular modular-xorg has a newer intel driver (x11/xf86-video-intel).

I don't know about the agp issue tho, i don't have that problem on my 
machine.
