BusType PCI and DmaType AGP contradict each other. Try removing one or
both. The log file indicates that you have an AGP card. Are you forcing
BusType PCI for a specific reason?

Everything looks more or less ok until here. There should be more
information about the cause of the failure in the kernel log. What does
dmesg say?

This option will disable use of the BCI for Xv (video overlay), but it
won't disable BCI alltogether. The BCI is needed for 3D acceleration.
