Oops, sorry. Then I'd suggest short of patches that you write up your
methods of manual setup and we can add it to the FAQ.
I would like to but anybody else should proove what I'm telling here.
Easily said there should two lines be added to /etc/modules to be loaded
at boot time: agpgart and r128. Then I mofied /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 by
adding a line in Section "Device": Option "AGPMode" "4". X-Server does
not fail nor does produce warnings or errors on my system. But as
everything else someone with an equal system should proove it.
