Have you read the following thread?

This guy had a KT400 that didn't get recognized; maybe his solution can help you.

If the fglrx internal agpgart module doesn't work for your chipset, you'll want to use the standard linux agpgart module. Just edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, and change the option "UseInternalAGPGART" to "no". Then make sure that the module "agpgart" is getting loaded before "fglrx". Adding the line "below fglrx agpgart" to /etc/modules.conf might fix it. Or you could add "modprobe agpgart" to one of your rc files before modules are loaded.

If the standard agpgart module doesn't work for your chipset... um... I hope there's a patch available somewhere. Although you'd have to recompile your kernel, etc, blah... Anyway, good luck. Hope that helped.

Have you had a look on the linux forum on the Rage3d site? That's where I found the solution to the problems with my ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 (M10). There is a lot of postings about KT600 there.
