Have you ruled out any MSI related problems? I think the IRQ not working
could explain the symptoms...

Make sure this line changes to 'WB disabled' with no_wb=1. There's a
writeback endianness bug with modeset=1, see
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-April/009960.html .

The agpmode and no_wb options only have an effect with modeset=1, and
you don't seem to be using AGP anyway. :)
