OK.. I'm going to go insane.. I know that my ATI card and Xorg work together. Just two days ago I had direct rendering enabled. Since then I've had to reinstall my Gentoo system and for the stinking bloody life of me I can't get this thing to work again. I've tried using the internal AGP module, I've tried using the kernel AGP module (both compiled as a module and compiled into the kernel). Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong this time?

AGP info from dmesg
Code:

sunflower1 root # dmesg | grep -i agp
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0.AGPB._PRT]
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected NVIDIA nForce2 chipset
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 941M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe0000000
Fire GL built-in AGP-support
Based on agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 816M
agpgart: Detected nVidia nForce2 chipset
agpgart: Bridge device is in AGP v3 mode
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe0000000

[fglrx] AGP detected, AgpState   = 0x00000000 (hardware caps of chipset)


some more dmesg output
Code:

The rest of your log would be helpful. Try increasing your AGP aperture size to 128MB.

errr.. not sure why the rest of the logs pooped.. but I have it fixed.

In case anybody else has the same problem I had to enable preemptive kernel .. I don't know why.. but enabling it worked.. which I'm sure will lead to another problem.. resier4 freezing..
