In my case is even worse, now that you bring the issue to some light: boo:~# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted agpgart 20100 0 (unused) and from the log: (EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available (WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize -- falling back to PCI mode. (WW) RADEON(0): [agp] Make sure you have the agpgart kernel module loaded. So I am missing something, here. Can you post your config file, so I can take a look at it?
