I have not been able to get fglrx working properly under Xfree 4.3.0,
driver version 8.18.6, kernel 2.6.13, with a Radeon 9700 Pro (AGP).
It seems that DRI/DRM is not working properly and performance is
suffering greatly.

I get the following error in X:

	(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_EINVAL"
	(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP


[...]


or, if I use Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no" in XF86config:

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


[...]


fglrxinfo reports using Mesa driver, which it shouldn't be:


[...]


And lsmod shows that the driver is not being used:

	fglrx                 264032  0 


These are consequences of the X server not enabling the DRI due to the
above.



	intel_agp              23836  1 
	agpgart                36812  2 fglrx,intel_agp


[...]


I have tried setting 'Option "UseInternalAGPGART"' to both "no" and "yes",
but it makes no difference.


The intel_agp module must be loaded for the former but must not be
loaded for the latter.

Please also check the kernel output for anything related to fglrx and/or
AGP.
