Thanks. I gave it a try, but still nothing !!!
lsmod reported agpgart[0].
So then I added r128 to modules. Now lsmod reports agpgart[1] and r128[0] !!!
It appears to me that the kernel is speaking agpgart and r128 but X ain't !!!
How do I get X to talk to an expectant kernel ???
However, for once I can help !!!
To get DRI working for non-root users add :
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
to the XF86Config file you use.
Hope this helps,
Owen
