agpgart detects 2 devices

I experiment since few weeks serious troubles with my computer: random hard freezes (no more keyboard, no other choice than power button)

While searching reasons i found this in kernel.log:

Mar  5 08:53:01 merlin agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
Mar  5 08:53:01 merlin agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
Mar  5 08:53:01 merlin agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode

Here's the result of lspci:

00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8366/A/7 [Apollo KT266/A/333]

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)

As far as i know (not enough perhaps ), AGP is binded to graphics card, which is in 01:00, and not 00:00
So, my question is: is this message "agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode" normal ? and if not, how can i solve that ? Could it be the reason of the freezes ?

I've no idea what agpgart is for.

Thanks in advance !
