Another thought, normally the integrated graphics has an "AGP"
aperture of 256M @0xe0000000, which is detected by agpgart-intel, this
will need to be moved up above 4G to free up 0xe0000000 for the
radeon, assuming the "agp_bridge" has a 64bit base register...  I
noticed in my docked dmesg, "AGP aperture is 256M @ 0x20000000", but
the PCI base: "120000000-12fffffff : 0000:00:02.0" so only 32bits have
been set in agpgart-intel.  Explains why i915 wasn't initialised.

I'll try first thing tomorrow.  I'm away from the docking station now.
