One similar problem I encountered was that agpgart must be loaded before the radeon module. Just get out of X, manually unload the radeon module, make sure agpgart is loaded, then start X back up (it will automatically load the radeon module again), and see what happens.
Thank you. Your suggestion does enable direct rendering, but then it doesn't work correctly. In fact X11 is completely screwed: I get a blue screen with garbage at its top, the mouse pointer is displayed (as a cross) and I can move it, but nothing happens when I click, and I can't even kill X11 with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (Ctrl-Alt-F1/F6 don't work either) so I have to push the reboot button in order to get out of it. (The machine isn't network-connected.)
Actually, I noticed that when loading the agpgart module I get this message:
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 201M agpgart: Detected SiS 630 chipset agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe0000000
and this is an excerpt from "lspci -v" (full output is attached in case you want to read it):
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS][SNIP]
SiS630 GUI Accelerator+3D (rev 20) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
As far as I can judge (I'm really not an expert) it looks like I have two different graphics controllers on my motherboard (unfortunately I don't have the board's manual so I can't check), and agpgart finds the wrong one. Is this correct? Is someone able to tell me what I should do?
Your Radeon is on BusID PCI:0:15:0 (it is actually a PCI card). Your SiS card os on BusID PCI:1:0:0 (it is actually an AGP card). It looks like the agpgart and radeon mdules are conflicting because they are accessing different cards.
