I can confirm that this issue still exists on Ubuntu 12.04.1 (32-bit)
and affects fglrx versions >8.950 (Catalyst >12.2) on AGP systems. The
issue is also present on the most recent Catalyst 13.1-legacy. I tested
this on a VIA KT400 chipset, so the issue is not exclusive to
nforce2-based systems.

Since the Xorg.0.log backtrace points out the fglrx_dri.so library, I
tried rebuilding the 12.4 and 13.1-legacy debs using the 12.2 versions
of fglrx_dri.so and fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 which I believe are needed to
enable DRI. Surprisingly, the modified 12.4 drivers boot to desktop
without error. The modified 13.1-legacy, however, reaches the desktop
with GLX hardware acceleration disabled. I'm going to stick with
Catalyst 12.2 for now, as replacing the dri and libGL libraries in newer
versions is prone to be buggy.

As far as I can tell, whatever changes AMD's driver team made to
fglrx_dri.so and fglrx-libGL.so after Catalyst 12.2 broke our AGP
systems.


My config:
- Graphics: Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP
- CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.6 GHz, 32 bits)
- Chipset: VIA KT400
- RAM: 768 MB DDR-SDRAM
- Version kernel-3.2.0-36
- Ubuntu version: Xubuntu 12.04.1 (32 bits)
