[expert] Radeon 9700 + nforce2- nvidia 1.0261 drivers (with agpgart patch for 3rd party graphics cards) and ML 9.1

Hi everyone,   Did anyone succeed in getting them work together nicely? If so please explain step by step like for an retarded idiot:) how you did it. I got it to the point that the agpgart module loads and the fglrx module loads. In X fglrxinfo displays the ATI driver and also the OpenGL from ATI and not the Mesa one. Though everything seems fine, I cannot start any application including fgl_glxgears or tuxracer without my PC freezing. I looked in the /var/log/kernel/errors and saw something about fglrx:firegl_unlock drm_ioremapfree and an attempt to call something on a NULL. Funny stuff is that I have no other warning/error whatsoever in dmesg, XFree86 log or messages. :/ When I try to start fgl_glxgears PC freezes instantly without doing anything (I remain in the screen where I tried starting it). Only a hard reboot is possible (no Ctrl-Bksp, no SysReq, nada). :( I thought maybe something screwy is going on with my fgl_glxgears so I tried Tuxracer. A bit better. My screen went black and monitor made the "click" it does when changing video modes, stayed there for a few seconds and then monitor switched to standby like it does when no signal comes (for ex when PC is off). In the meantime I could hear an endless looping sound in my headset. :( Also beside hard reset nothing of the "normal" ways to regain control of the PC worked :( I switched on my TV to see if it outputs there something, but no go (thought the rascal switched output to the TV-OUT maybe). :( I got the latest ati driver for X 4.3.0 (I think is 2.9.12). Did a clean kernel recompile, a clean uninstall and rebuild/reinstall of the NVIDIA_nforce driver for the agpgart and also cleanly uninstalled and installed the fglrx driver. Same simptom. :( Am going nuts. So please if you managed to do it tell me how and any thoughts on how to debug the crash. If it would have been a kernel panick (lights on keyb) I would have used the autodump of the ksymoops... :( Thanks in advance.   Best regards, Adrian
