more observations:
1. I think this is same as bug 141551. This was closed with Quirks to detect 
various radeon types and force AGPmodes.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/141551/comments/55

But, the when chipID=5960 (RV280, XPRESS 9250) is detected, we have
another problem: radeon driver does not try to do AGPmode change - see
attached log, showing default AGP8X is used.

2. This chip does not accept AGP2X setting, only AGP4X or 8X

3. Xserver fails just after setting up textured video (see log). When it
is working OK - with "BusType" "PCI" setting - textured video is
followed by

init memap

in the Xorg log.

could this mean it is crashing while setting up the GART? (presume no
GART in PCI mode)

4. fault happens from LiveCD. can't boot kubuntu unless failsafe
graphics used.

5. hardware works fine, many hours uptime on VESA driver and windows-ME.
Nice quiet (fanless) card.
