Ok, i'm yet another poor soul trying to set up an ATI Radeon 9200(SE) on an nforce2 A7N8X asus motherboard.. Graphics does work, but thats about all I can say about it..

(I have an emachines (eView) 15" monitor btw)
Anywho, I installed FireGL via emerge (ati something i think), I also compiled my kernel with embedded nforce2 and ati agp support, as well as dri support for ati radeons. I then run fglrxconfig, and set appropriate options, and the graphics does indeed work, but glxgears runs 50-60fps and games don't start because of the lack of direct rendering...
What am I missing O_o
I doubt if this helps, but heres my XFree86Config-4 file:

1) Change this line from your XF86Config-4.txt file
| Code: | | Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes" |
to be
| Code: | | Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no" |
because you want to use the nForce AGP GART module from the kernel (externel), not the one inside the binary drivers.
2) After doing | Code: | | 'emerge ati-drivers' |
do | Code: | | 'opengl-update ati' |
3) Get rid of all the DRI stuff from the kernel. You don't want it if your using ATI's binaries. It might be 'safe' to leave it in, but may cause problems and besides it will increase your kernel size / number of modules.
4) Compile the nForce AGP GART as a module, and make sure that it and the firegl module are loaded (using lsmod). You can add them to your modules.autoload file.
5) You only need nForce AGP GART support, the ATI AGP GART support in the kernel is for ATI's motherboard chipset.
6) You could also try | Code: | | 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ati-drivers' |
If that lot doesn't work post your dmesg output.
Also, what kernel version are you using? With 2.4 I had to disable 8x AGP otherwise I got hard-locks (with 2.6 8x is fine though), so if it hard-locks on you after changing something it might be 'working' but in need of a quick BIOS option change.
Oh yeah, search

Well I've done a little more research, and I emerged xfree-dri with "radeon" as the video thing. Prolly opintless since i excluded dri completly from the compile. I also made the AGPGART for ati a module, which i then ran insmod on. And now I ge this error:
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENOMEM"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
I still get it after I ran that opengl-update ati crap.. I know what ENOMEM is, but no clue why it would error.. I've got 512mb dual-channel ddr on this board, and 128mb ddr on the card.. Perhaps my nforce2 is giving me problems? (Although I did enable nforce2 chipset support in my kernel).
[edit]
I shoudl also note i'm using the latest vanilia sources (mmm vanilla) |

Sorry, was a little frustrated. I followed everything you said, and now I have DRI-age  . Unfortunatly its only going ~700fps  .
I think i had it before when it was hanging, i tested on this kernel.org latest kernel with 8x disabled, worked, then i re-enabled 8x (fastwrite is enabled also) and it still worked!
(Side note, the new kernel.org kernels have built-in emu10k1 and alsa!)
Anywho, now I gotta figure out why its going so slow, and how to use hardware cursors (i'll rtfm), but thanks man.

Glad to hear its working, took me quite a while to get mine set up the first time.
My 9700 only gets a bit over 3000 in glxgears with love-sources (I get about 4000 with gentoo-sources 2.6, it used to be over 6000 with a 2.4 kernel) so its probably just the crap slow drivers for 2.6 kernels.
But, a boost from 50 to 700 fps is not that bad
