15 Add radeon in there, so that the module is loaded before X starts.
16 When it still fails, post the agp/drm/radeon related messages from
17 dmesg.

19 When you're using udev, you could also try upgrading to the latest
20 ~x86 version. (Myself I simply use static device nodes.)

25 Do switch these off. It probably won't help, but when things don't
26 work you have to try everything. Also try setting AGPMode to 1 or
27 2. And try compiling agpgart into the kernel.
