I have looked at WEDGE'S ati site http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/gentoo-radeon-faq.html#1_whyuse as well as http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers they're all suggesting to compile the kernel by saying Y to /dev/agpgart AND enable my chipset. However there is NO VIA chipset but only Intel's agp. Am I missing something here?

My kernel is 2.6.14 r5 and the AGP card id ATI RADEON 9500 PRO.

thx

ak47, you must use a kernel version 2.6.13 or newer to have drm on via. As an alternative, you could emerge x11-drm (which, despite the name, provides equivalents to kernel modules).
