I am following this thread w/ interest as I am having similar problems.  
Although I am seeing errors in my syslog file that indicate I'm not even 
able to get agp going.  Anyone seen something similar? 

[drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 0: ATI Technologies 
Inc M9+ 5C61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)]
[drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held
[drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 9513 using kernel context 0


I've got a radeon mobility 9200 in my laptop and have compiled 
CONFIG_AGP=m, CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=m, CONFIG_DRM=m, and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m. 

Interestingly enough, agpgart module loads at boot but intel_agp 
doesn't.  Modprobe of intel_agp produces no errors, but lsmod shows it's 
not loaded.  Nothing in log files either.  When X is started, drm and 
radeon modules load up, but dri still doesn't work, probably because agp 
isn't working.

Cheers,
Kevin
