OK, so I guess the first thing is to get agpgart to work first...

I selected "Yes" to "/dev/agpgart support", "Direct rendering manader
(XFree86 4.1.0+)" and "ATI Radeon".

I guess it might end up being an issue, but it can't have an effect on
agpgart support, right (since AGP is loaded long before X is started)?

I think RedHat patched 4.1.0, since the XFree 4.1.0 shipped with
Mandrake didn't work for me. ...But once again, my first problem is with
agpgart, which is I think(?) a kernel issue. And idea?
