I tried creating an Xorg.conf file to manually load those drivers and I also noticed that I did not swrast drivers installed so I did that as well. I also change agpmode to 1. However when I did that I broke my X session. The GUI would not load nor could I get into cli. I had to change the setting in the yaboot prompt so I can get into cli. Then I remove my xorg.conf file from /etc/X11 and reverted my yaboot.conf file back plus uninstalled swrast drivers. Then I was able to log back in the GUI. I am attaching my xorg.conf and my xorg and dmesg logs for you to look at. I think my next option is to try the patches but I have never installed those type of files before. Could you give me a quick breakdown. Thanks!
