Busy weekend .. I haven't been able to try much with the driver yet. I have tried "agp_try_unsupported=1" with insmod with no success so far. I got 2.4.22-dj2 to compile finally, so as soon as I get a couple hours, I'll try all of the available drivers and see what happens. If it fails completely, I always have my laptop (Radeon Mobility) to play games on while AC & co get things running.
