Well, after all the trail, I still don't have any luck. I install xlibmesa3 and removed mesag3. glxinfo gets me now Mesa GLX Indirect rendering instead of Mesa X11 rendering. Then I use 16 and 32 bpp to activate DRI. system still freezed. and i don't have any log file left too because of the system freeze. for normal 24 bpp. I have irq for the card. bus mastering on, I am using kernel 2.4.1 with mga.o and the necessary stuff. but there is a warning in the config saying
(**) MGA(0): Using AGP Mode 4x (--) MGA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xCE000000 (--) MGA(0): MMIO registers at 0xCD000000 (--) MGA(0): Pseudo-DMA transfer window at 0xCC800000 (--) MGA(0): BIOS at 0xCDFF0000 (--) MGA(0): Video BIOS info block at offset 0x07A80 (WW) MGA(0): Video BIOS info block not detected!
