So now I can ansewer myself , just go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and instead of agpgart.o.gz use readeon driver and this is almost it

Details: in xorg.con

"Module section" under load "glx" add load "dri"

"Graphics device section"
edit theese lines :

Section "Device"
Identifier "radeon"
Driver "radeon"

Under the "Screen Sections"

edit:

Device "radeon"

And at the very bottom of the file add this

Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0666
Endsection


Thats it exerything works and i am happy now !
