Having trouble installing a piece of hardware? Want to know if that peripheral is compatible with Linux?

Have you tried installing the latest ATI driver?

The other issue may be that the ATI drivers don't support Xorg 7.0 yet, as there was a major shift to modularize everything.

Are you sure? You listed an ATI Radeon video card, and 99.9% of Xorg related issues surrounding agpgart are due to improper configuration of Xwindows, either by listing a driver that doesn't exist, or a driver that doesn't support the video card installed. If you are seeing the same issue as what is posted on Fedora's bugzilla, ...
Quote:
... Intel 82810E DC-133 cGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]
... Viewsonic P813
1...2...3...4...5.... X server started successfully
mini-wm: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on Xserver :1.0

and the tail of X.log reads:

(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such device)
(EE) I810(0): AGP GART support is not available. Make sure your kernel has
agpgart support or that the agpgart kernel module is loaded.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
... then is stands to reason that you have the wrong video card configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You list the video card as "New". I'd almost bet money that your xorg configuration is trying to install a driver that doesn't support that card.

Try this:

What is returned from typing "fgrep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf"?
What happens when you replace what is there, with "vesa"?

Let me know the results, and we can go from there.

No, I it has nothing to do with the X configuration.
When it says `AGP GART support is not available. Make sure your kernel has
agpgart support or that the agpgart kernel module is loaded.' it means, your system does not seem to load the agpgart driver correctly. See if /dev/agpgart exists. If not, try doing modprobe agpgart or something. If it doesn't work, try recompiling the kernel and adding CONFIG_AGP to your current config.

Different drivers require different agpgart support, it's the frame buffer driver that allows X to support GL at the kernel level. The generic one that ships with the kernel is in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/char/agp, along with some open source versions for Ati, Nvidia, Intel, etc. These go hand in hand with the xorg video driver, and are installed when X starts if xorg.conf has dri enabled. If the version installed doesn't recognize the hardware, the driver will fail to install.

The only assumption I have made up to this point is that the original poster (RobNYC) listed his hardware in his sig, but now I'm wondering what excatly he has, since he says this has nothing to do with ATI (which is listed in the hardware list as a new video card). This this isn't the correct hardware, please list the correct hardware (motherboard, chipset version, & lspci output would be nice).

I forgot to mention the ATI cards are on my other pc, my intel i810 card is on my old pc which I was trying to run linux on and I've tried all the distros with Xorg 7.0 and thats the issue there, maybe with 7.1 its fixed

I've done modprobe agpgart, the agpgart is loaded on all the kernels, and I've checked xorg and it shows the correct driver to be loaded which is the i810, I'll try vesa but I dont think it will change anything. Its 7.0

Celeron 635mhz, 256mb, Intel i810 82810-E DC-133 CGC, pretty much it to hardware. I'll see if I boot an older linux and get lspci for you guys

Another thing to try is disabling dri in your xorg.conf file. That should disable the need for agpgart.
