Hej,

lspci sees an "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Radeon Mobility 9000"

there is nothing about agp in the dmesg buffer... no agpgart module loaded neither.
hmm...

insmod the agpart.o module gives me an "No such device" error and dies.

there are some modules in the /lib/modules/gflrx/build_mod/ directory (=ATI driver). They also refuse to load with unresolved symbols.... (agp3.o, agpgart_be.o, i7505-agp.o fglrx.o...)

there is an interesting "patch" subdir there... can/should I patch the stock suse 81 kernel with these??? if so, has anyone compiled them successfully already?

or, what about installing a brand new 2.4.20?

questions over questions... thx for any suggestions ;)

cheers

Javor Evstatiev

The message suggests a problem when initializing the AGP.
Maybe you have to make sure that the agpgart module is loaded before you 
start X11. Try "modprobe agpgart" as root before starting X11.

If the agpgart module is loaded correctly you should find the following 
messages with "dmesg" or in /var/log/messages

~> dmesg | grep -i agp
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: Detected Intel i845 chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0x60000000

You also should have the following device file.

crw-------    1 root     root      10, 175 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/agpgart

Regards,
   Stefan
