Hi Matthew, i did try what you suggested and it didnt help, i changed
the 'UseInternalAgp" to both settings and neither did any good, i'm
posting my kernel version as requested:

root at raziel:/# uname -a
Linux raziel 2.4.29 #1 SMP Wed Mar 16 12:37:23 CST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

This is what lspci reports about my VGA card:

Im trying this on a Toshiba Satellite A70-SP211 and i installed the
fglrx-driver_8.12.10-1_i386.deb created following the procedure.

Btw, Mario, my laptop doesnt have a 64 Bit Processor, thanks for the
help anyway:

Hello,

Do you have a 64Bit-Processor?
If I remember right, I had some similar error message coming
from the fact, that I didn't load the extra amd64-chipset-agp
driver:
root(strassen) ~> find /lib/modules/ -iname '*agp*'
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-amd64-me-k8/kernel/drivers/char/agp
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-amd64-me-k8/kernel/drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-amd64-me-k8/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.ko

root(strassen) ~> modprobe agpgart amd64-agp

Hope that might help...

Mario

This typically caused by an unknown or unsupport AGP chipset.  Although
I am not near a computer, there is an option 'UseInternalAgp" which can
be set to No to use the external AGP drivers that came with your kernel.

If you still have problems, please post your kernel version, AGP chipset
(otherwise known as Northbridge), and driver version.

Regards...  Matthew

Subject: [fglrx] Problem while starting the XFree86 server after loading
the ATI module

Guys,

Im having trouble starting my X Server after loading the compiled ATI
module and editing the XF86Config-4 config file, this is the error
that i get from the X11 server.


(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP

Has anyone ran into this before? Any ideas?
