Try loading agpgart right from startup - it doesn't work if you insmod it once the system us running.
Add the line 'agpgart' to your /etc/modules file. Worked for me, anyway - everything else you need is with Mandrake 8.1 or XFree 4.2. I'm on a RADEON 7500, with the motherboard on the VIA KT133 chipset. Once I did this everything else autodetected. Now all I need to do is make it work as non-root users. Ideas?
