Please remove BusType PCI and try Option AGPMode 4 I tried this option and I had no problems with it. I had a look into the hardware description of my DELL notebook and it says that the graphic card supports AGPx8. I also had no problems with this card using the proprietary ATI fglrx driver on a another system partition with a Kanotix system for more than 18 months. fglrx has AGP chipset specific tweaks which aren't feasible in the radeon driver. Unfortunately, we haven't found a failsafe default AGP configuration that works everywhere, the most reliable one seems to be to leave the rate unchanged from what the BIOS set it to. So if that doesn't work for you, I'm afraid you'll have to change it in the BIOS setup or xorg.conf. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

I also had no problems with this card using the proprietary ATI fglrx driver on a another system partition with a Kanotix system for more than 18 months. The X logfile of this kanotix systems gives information about the used versions: Module fglrx: vendor=FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc. compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.29.6 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0 So maybe the reported bug is not a problem only related to my hardware, but also to the driver. Is there something about the AGP mode in Xorg.log or dmesg when using fglrx? Brice Yes. The result of dmesg | grep AGP on the kanotix system with fglrx is: ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0.AGP_._PRT] agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xf000 [fglrx] AGP detected, AgpState = 0x1f004a1b (hardware caps of chipset) agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at :00:00.0. agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at :00:00.0 into 8x mode agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at :01:00.0 into 8x mode [fglrx] AGP enabled, AgpCommand = 0x1f004312 (selected caps) The result of grep AGP /var/log/Xorg.0.log is: (**) fglrx(0): Option UseInternalAGPGART no (II) fglrx(0): AGP card detected (**) fglrx(0): using built in AGPGART module: no (II) fglrx(0): [agp] AGP v1/2 disable mask 0x (II) fglrx(0): [agp] AGP v3 disable mask 0x (II) fglrx(0): [agp] enabling AGP with mode=0x1f004b1a (II) fglrx(0): [agp] Remapping MC AGP space (new MCAGPBase = 0xf000) (II) fglrx(0): [agp] AGP protocol is enabled for graphics board.

I used X for about 8 hours, played videos (with kaffeeine, mplayer and flashplugin) and moved the window heavily whilst playing. Also tuxracer didn't bring X down. Even if still this is not the ultimate proof I can see that with the change the problem didn't get worse. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me. Thanks for your immediate help! Ok, your system does not seem to like AGP 8x. Please remove BusType PCI and try Option AGPMode 4 If it still fails, try Option AGPMode 1 instead. The following line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log should change accordingly (==) RADEON(0): Using AGP 8x Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
