Hrm... My understanding is that the problem is related to the
setting of MC_AGP_LOCATION (and eventually MC_FB_LOCATION) by
the DRM kernel driver, right ?

Well... The easy fix is to move that change to the XFree driver
before DRM is inited and have the kernel one just read back the
value to know which XFree driver version initialized it.

I will have to play with those values on Macs as well because of
some problems with UniNorth (I basically have to put the ring read
ptr in normal RAM, not AGP RAM, and I need the radeon to do a
normal PCI busmaster cycle to write it, not an AGP cycle).

Ben.
