Still the same error (drmOpenDevice: Open failed)?

Add radeon in there, so that the module is loaded before X starts.
When it still fails, post the agp/drm/radeon related messages from 
dmesg.

When you're using udev, you could also try upgrading to the latest 
~x86 version.  (Myself I simply use static device nodes.)

Do switch these off.  It probably won't help, but when things don't 
work you have to try everything.  Also try setting AGPMode to 1 or 
2.  And try compiling agpgart into the kernel.

Here I have 3dnow and mmx active in the USE flags.
