OK here goes:
before starting X e.g. in /etc/rc.local
modprobe agpgart
modprobe r128
This loads the DRM Kernel module
now edit the "Module" Section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Add:
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
that should be enough thou I also load "vbe" & "dbe" but have forgotten why
:)
now:
startx 2> xfree86.log
Once X has started or not as the case maybe, you should see the line:
Direct rendering enabled
That should do it.
Good Luck,
Bill Noyce.
