I changed the radeon.agpmode to 1 and will test with it. I set the the radeon.dpm for power managment. I discovered it at the Ubbuntu wiki here <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver>. As far as the driver load error based on the link you sent should I create an Xorg.conf file and configure it to load the drivers? I know they mentioned a patch but I have never installed on of those before. Thanks for you help!
