There are 3 AGP versions: V1 (3.3V signaling, 1x, 2x data rates), V2 (1.5V signaling, 1x, 2x, 4x rates), V3 (some difference in signaling to V2, but in contrast to V1 cards physically keyed the same as V2 cards, 4x, 8x rates).
You can't switch the AGP version after bootup, but you can change the rate. The moibility 9600 is a v3 device, but your chipset is v2 so the chip operates in v2 mode. So yes defaulting to 1x rate (which is all what AGPmode does) should fix your problem.
