I am not sure about each of these numbers, but we can hope the memory
allocation will be more efficient and dynamic once the kernel memory
manager is used. This comes with KMS and DRI2, and it is possible to try
it out in Karmic already.

[Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot
Hi
indeed, I have two screens on this comp, the built-in lcd at 1600x1200, and an
external monitor at 1920x1200, sitting side by side, for a total desktop size
of 3520x1200.
I have "virtual" set to "3520 1600".
But, i notice in those lines you pasted out of my xorg, it appears to
reserve a muc

Only DRI will use AGP transfers, so if DRI is disabled is does not
matter what AGPMode you are setting. DRI is used for 2 things, 3D
hardware acceleration (mesa libraries) and EXA 2D acceleration (in
driver). Without DRI, 3D graphics will be software rendered, and EXA
will be terribly slow. In Karm
The driver allocates memory for a big combined dual screen (it detects both a
VGA and an LCD at 1600x1200):
(II) RADEON(0): Memory manager initialized to (0,0) (3520,4766)
(II) RADEON(0): Reserved area from (0,1600) to (3520,1602)
(II) RADEON(0): Largest offscreen area available: 3520 x 3164

yea, i'm running plain metacity, no compiz...
well, i'll try with just the XAA, under intrepid, and let you know if i
can use agpmode4, and will also play with karmic and see what happens
there.
will let you know any results. :)

Look for "Direct rendering enabled" and "Initializing built-in extension
COMPOSITE".
Which I just did in your old log:
(EE) RADEON(0): Static buffer allocation failed. Disabling DRI.
(EE) RADEON(0): At least 66000 kB of video memory needed at this resolution and
depth.
(II) RADEON(0): RADEONRest
> Yes, please try with only XAA.
ok, will do, and post here if it still works with agpmode4
> The DRI and Extensions sections should not be necessary. Are you not
getting DRI and Composite without them?
what exactly do i look for in xorg log or elsewhere, to know whether
they are enabled without
Before seeing your log I didn't know that you are still on Intrepid, for
instance DynamicClocks might still be valid in that version, although it
should not add stability anyway. Yes, please try with only XAA.
In Jaunty and later the driver will recognize your card and default to
AGPMode 1, but yo
Oh and by the way, any comments on sections DRI and Extensions? I added
those first, separately, before I got around to trying the stuff in the
Device section, and those two showed a marked improvement in
responsiveness all by themselves...

Hi Tormod
Thanks for your quick response
Attaching my Xorg.0.log for your review.
as far trying things - so i should try taking out everything but the
XAA?

Looking at the options you use:
RenderAccel is on by default anyway.
DynamicClocks is not a valid option any longer.
BIOSHotkeys is not an option any longer (the functionality is always active).
EnablePageFlip should increase performance but may reduce stability.
AGPFastWrite might increase perform
Update:
I was able to get things to work with agp at 4x, with the following config:
