How does one determine the agp mode X us using?

By default, you will probably be running at 1X. In my /etc/X11/XF86Config file, I manually added the AGPMode options like this:

Section "Device"
       Identifier  "Videocard0"
       Driver      "radeon"
       VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
       BoardName   "ATI Radeon 9200"
       Option      "AGPMode" "4"
EndSection

Unless you are running a kernel that supports it, 4X is as high as you can go for now. The 2.6 kernel is supposed to have support for 8X for some chipsets.
