18 I am following this thread w/ interest as I am having similar problems.
19 Although I am seeing errors in my syslog file that indicate I'm not even
20 able to get agp going. Anyone seen something similar?

22 [drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 0: ATI Technologies
23 Inc M9+ 5C61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)]
24 [drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held
25 [drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 9513 using kernel context 0

28 I've got a radeon mobility 9200 in my laptop and have compiled
29 CONFIG_AGP=m, CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=m, CONFIG_DRM=m, and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m.

31 Interestingly enough, agpgart module loads at boot but intel_agp
32 doesn't. Modprobe of intel_agp produces no errors, but lsmod shows it's
33 not loaded. Nothing in log files either. When X is started, drm and
34 radeon modules load up, but dri still doesn't work, probably because agp
35 isn't working.
