I am running FC3 (kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3, xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.21) on a Dell Inspiron 5150 with a Radeon M9. Whenever I set the AGPMode option to anything other than 1 in xorg.conf, my system freezes. Unfortunately, nothing can be found to be logged. Note: I know that dri is enabled if I start X without the option. Also, the Dell bios won't allow me to configure agp options, so is there another way to check what agp mode the bios is set to?
Created attachment 1468 [details] xorg.conf
try with fastwrite set to no and agp set to 4 fastwrite can cause hangs on a lot of chipsets.... that is why it is off by default...

i believe some mobility chipsets have known bugs when using higher agp modes.
Whats the status of this bug using a current version of xorg?
Closing this bug due to the lack of activity. Please reopen if the issue still persists with a current version of xorg.
