I get the same error when it comes to the board being third party, but everything still works fine. I also recently upgraded to the July 22 driver, and it works fine too. Seems they fixed Xx support.
Sorry for not replying sooner but I've only just now had time to try it out. I did exactly as you said, although they updated the driver on the site to: Driver Version X4.2.0-2.9.13 on July 22 (I also downgraded to the 2.4.21 kernel) and the fglrx module compiled and installed perfectly.
I then ran the fglrxconfig and all was good.. until I tried to run startX and got these errors :
(EE) fglrx(0): board is third party board
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
I don't know why you are getting that error. Did you compile agpgart inot the kernel or as a module? I compiled it as a module and used agp_try_unsuppoted=1 for my Intel 875PBZ motherboard. I coudn;t get it to load with that parameter. What motherboard are you using BTW?? I would try AGP 4x to be on the safe side.I tried the kernel and fglrxconfig both with the default kernel agpgart and the one that comes with the fglrx module and got the same error.
Let me know how it goes, and good luck.Is this because I didn't get the March 28 driver like you recommended (I cant find it on the ati site..) or is this something else?
My AGP slot is using AGP 8 in case that matters? I think I read a while back somewhere there were issues with 8? Should I drop down to 4?
Below is my XFree86.0.log. Thanks very much for the help, I'm so close, I can almost taste it :)
