ok. let's start at the beginning :)

I see you have an ATI 9600XT. That's exactly what I have.

In order to get mine working, I had to do this:

* /usr/src/linux
* make menuconfig
* Device Drivers->Character Devices->/dev/agpgart (AGP Support) = M
* DD->CD->$CHIPSET = M
* DD->CD->Direct Rendering Manager = No **IMPORTANT**

my chipset is NVIDIA nForce/nForce2

then make and install your new kernel - reboot

Next edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

find this section:

  Section "Device"
    Identifier    "ATI Graphics Adapter"
    Driver        "fglrx"

Find the UseInternalAGPGART and set it to no:

    Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

for Neverwinter Nights support also add this:

Option "KernelModuleParm" "agplock=0" # AGP locked user pages: disabled

Once you start X, go to a terminal and type as root:

  lsmod

you should see something like this (replace nvidia_agp to your chipset module):

Module                  Size  Used by
fglrx                 235068  0
nvidia_agp              7708  1
agpgart                34344  2 nvidia_agp
