[plug] Enabling AGP

[bob]

So... Santa has arrived a little early here and I am left with a nice shiny 
new ATI Radeon. I've been able to bluff my way past the problems of getting 
the card to work in 2D but I'm obviously not "getting it" with the 3D - I 
am in good company here as there seems to be lots of posts to blogs and 
lists asking about this sort of problem... without answers that work for 
me.

XFree86.0.log

(The driver is supposed to have its own  built in agpgart module - the rest 
of the driver works so can I assume this is ok and its a config issue?)

I've checked the bios - seems ok.
I've recompiled the drivers -seems ok
I've tweaked XF86Config -seems ok,

Pointers on where to go from here appreciated. Thanks.

(Of course I can always pick another driver and start all over again... ) 

(nb: this is my first AGP card- the previous was a plain PCI so I have no 
prior experience with these)
