This is a shared memory architecture. The bios sets up how much of the memory goes to graphics processing (default of 32MB, I have it set to 64MB).
Also, I know that the radeons are almost all AGP, but with the very first RADEON cards, they did have a PCI version. This might not make a big difference, but from HP's tech support page, the windows drivers look at the card as a PCI card as opposed to AGP (i know AGP is just a super fancy PCI - after reading these posts). I'm running the basic XFree86 4.2.0 right now (it's the default with the Slackware 9 beta). I also compiled 4.2.99.3 and I tried both with the ati & radeon drivers and none of them worked. So far, all that works is fbdev and vesa. i'd love to get accelerated rendering going with this, so any testing, (rudimentary) coding, information, etc... I can provide, just let me know what I need to do... I'll try just about anything to get this going!
