Angry ATI problems...


I have got an LFS system with X.org 6.8 installed on it. I'm currently trying to get the ATI fglrx drivers to work.

When i have loaded the driver this is the output of my lsmod:
Code:
Module                  Size  Used by
fglrx                 428384  0
via_agp                 7488  0
agpgart                28712  2 fglrx,via_agp
rt2400                 82048  0
That's wrong isn't it?

Here is the relevant section of dmesg:
Code:
[fglrx] module unloaded - fglrx 8.19.10 [Nov  9 2005] on minor 0
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 927 MBytes.
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.19.10 [Nov  9 2005] on minor 0
[fglrx] ACPI power management is initialized.
Nothing wrong here i think.

Relevant section of Xorg.0.log:
Code:
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf88cf000 at 0xb7b49000
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed!                  *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO)             *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available                *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Edit: It's LFS 6.1, so kernel 2.6.11.12
I've used the most recent ATI drivers.

Problem solved!!!

Turned out to be something missing in the kernel.
I had to include the AMD Athlon 64 on-cpu gart.
