fred, you already replied to the thread where it was posted so I assume you are aware, but for completeness sake I copy it here as well, bridgman replied this on 30 jan 2008:

This is a known issue, and it is being worked on.

We pushed a Windows driver with HD2xxx AGP support out a week or two ago and at first glance it seems to be working for users who had been experiencing problems. On the Linux side, we are going to update the release notes in the next driver to make it clear that AGP support for HD2xxx parts is not yet there, so you will be able to see when support arrives.

(**) fglrx(0): UseFastTLS=0
(==) fglrx(0): BlockSignalsOnLock=1

Note the lone [pcie] entry in there.
My actual AGP aperture right now is set to (from syslog):
Jan 31 07:58:05 thebe kernel: [ 22.768346] agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
Jan 31 07:58:05 thebe kernel: [ 22.772617] agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xf0000000

Now for the weird bit: fglrx actually works for me.
Normally I would use radeonhd, but I currently loaded fglrx succesfully by modifying the above xorg.conf to set
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option "UseFastTLS" "2"
Option "BusType" "AGP"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
# Option "mtrr" "off"
# Option "no_accel" "no"
Option "no_dri" "yes"
Option "ForceMonitors" "notv"

Note the no_dri and commented mtrr : off options.
It seems the no_dri : yes thing does the trick.
This of course makes the driver useless,
I still have no 3d or 2d accel and scrolling is actually slower than under radeonhd.

BUT, my instinct is that if the devs want to fix the issues with the AGP HD2xxx card and fglrx , they should find out why:
-dri doesn't work (my card has DVI connectors only but monitor detection seems to have functioned, looking at the Xorg.0.log)
-a pcie memspace is reserved equal to the physical ram memspace on the card even though AGP is loaded
(II) fglrx(0): [agp] graphics chipset has AGP v3.0 (native mode)
(II) fglrx(0): [pcie] 520192 kB allocated

i cannot assure you that this could be fixed, but i suspect that the fglrxdri is faulty for agp cards. also i still have to understand how to set the agpaperture at boot time. normally it should be indicated into the bios, but not everyone has it.
i suggest to put the agp aperture to half the board's ram.
then we have to make sure that the kernel has the agpgart and dri configured both as modules. if the first is not as module, it's ok to have it compiled inside the kernel itself.
then we have to make sure that fglrx agpgart doesn't load by adding the following to xorg.conf:

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "false"

this option tells the driver wheter to load or not the internal agpgart. since fglrx doesn't officially support agp boards then it's not ok to load it.

after that we have to make sure that the bus type is correctly set:

Option "BusType" "AGP"

this will force the agp bustype into the board.
the next thing we need to tell xorg about is the type of agp that he is to use (make sure the agp version your mobo has by looking at it's specs and use the following options based on the version):

Option "AGPv3Mask" "0x00000001"

this sets the mode to 4x and applies ONLY if your mobo has agp version 3 bus, otherwise use the following one:

Option "AGPMask" "integer"
where integer might be:
"0x00000001" Disable AGP 1x (forces 2x or 4x).
"0x00000002" Disable AGP 2x (forces 1x or 4x).
"0x00000004" Disable AGP 4x (forces 1x or 2x).
"0x00000010" Disable fast-writes.
"0x00000200" Disable sidebanding.

here we'll have to test the various options out. first set to the less fast options, by disabling fast-writes, sidebanding and force to agp 1x or 2x. if this works then you can test more performant options.

then we have to block the signals on lock:
Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on"

then set the capabilities to default:

Option "Capabilities" "0x00000000"
Option "CapabilitiesEx" "0x00000000"

we'll try single monitor:

Option "DesktopSetup" "single"

we'll disable the full screen anti aliasing:

Option "FSAAEnable" "false"

and we'll add some kernel params:

Option "KernelModuleParm" "string"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "agplock=0"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "agp_try_unsupported=1"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "debug=1"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "maxlockedmem=256"
where 256 represents the memory size in mb.


we'll manually set the maxgartsize to half the board value for start:

Option "MaxGARTSize" "integer" setting it to the value set in the bios. if the bios cannot set the aperture, then ignore this option.

we'll ENABLE and not disable the memory type range registers:
Option "mtrr" "on"

set the accel to on:

Option "no_accel" "no"
Option "no_dri" "no"

we'll totally disable overlays:

Option "OpenGLOverlay" "false"
Option "VideoOverlay" "false"

remove all the other options present inthe device section.

now we'll go to the the extension section where we'll insert the following:


Option "DAMAGE" "false"
Option "RENDER" "false"
Option "Composite" "disable"
if the section is not present then add it by copying the following:
Section "Extensions"
Option "DAMAGE" "true"
Option "RENDER" "true"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

after that in the serverflags section and add the following:

Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "off"
Option "IgnoreABI" "on"
Option "AIGLX" "off"

if there's already one option with the same name but set to a different option use mine.

in the server layout section add:

Option "Clone" "off"
Option "Xinerama" "off"


and make sure the following section is present in the same way:

Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0660
EndSection

after that start in the 3rd level (no xdm) and digit startx to test the new configuration. if something goes wrong xorg won't start and you can see a backtrace of what wen't wrong. hopefully, instead, the device started and nothing went wrong. give a shot at the new xorg log and paste it on pastebin (it's more readable) and we'll try to see if everything went fine.

from the log it seems that you have succeeded to load dri and you were too impatient on killing the xorg server. it has only arrived to the expose of the events to /proc and it should then start to load kdb and mouse. xaa, dri, and fgrlx seem to have been loaded fine. you might have to wait a little more time before xorg to start. startx would return to the console if it cannot stat, unlike the init 5 which will lockup. so retry the same options and wait about 1 or 2 minutes (you might have to wait this time before it starts). if you still see the black screen after 2 minutes switch to another console with ctrl+alt+f2 for example, login and then do a cat on the xorg log. you might be able to see if xorg arrived at the devices load (keyboard and mouse). it could hang if it cannot load the mouse (Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "off" would prevent xorg from starting if it cannot find the mouse interface). so if you still cannot load the devices try setting it to on instead.

Thanks again, but, I doubt I can be called impatient. I let it sit there once for 15 minutes and the other for 10 and that's the point where it hangs,
whether that's what you'd expect or not. :confused:

New Xorg.0.log (I ran a diff, differences are minimal, some minor bumps on the drmOpen road it seems): http://pastebin.com/m2100c1f9

Thanks again, but, I doubt I can be called impatient. I let it sit there once for 15 minutes and the other for 10 and that's the point where it hangs,
whether that's what you'd expect or not. :confused:

so the problem is in the driver and to me it seems to stand in the acpi settings. i'll post you later the script to try to fix this issue after i got home.
on gentoo it works. if you cannot wait till then search for the gentoo ati-powermode.sh script and try out running that one as root and then retry startx. maybe this time will work.

Ho boy this is so out of my league.

on gentoo it works.

When you said that on Gento it work do you mean this card (hd 2600 AGP) or some other card?

With the following xorg.conf, I got fglrx to load.
In hindsight it is not such a surprise, since by botching the AGP init for the driver, the next thing that happened was that DRI failed to work, making it effectively as if I disabled it by using
Option "no_dri" "on"

Disabling DRI directly already made fglrx work for me.
Lo and behold, the driver does indeed behave the same way, dog-slow scrolling and no OpenGL accel whatsoever. Back to being worse off than with radeonhd driver :(

I'm gonna go with different AGPMask / AGPv3Mask (my BIOS options suggest it's AGP v3) settings next, or maybe disable AGP8x completely in the BIOS.

i mean hd 2600 xt 256 ddr3 (pcie though). i haven't said that it would work, but it could after running the scripts that gentoo has provided. for me the gentoo packages were better than non gentoo ones and had almost always make the driver work.

I've read (I forget where because of too muich reading last night) that the drivers doesn't work with ACPI. Try to recompile it without activating ACPI. Sorry though I don't know how you can do that under Ubuntu (i'm under Gentoo).

this is the powermanagement for acpi. it doesn't matter much. the patch i've been speaking about is meant to be added before the compilation.

here's the patch that need to be applied after decompressing fglrx and before compiling it on gentoo is automatic, but on ther distros you need to have the driver extracted, patched and after them compile the modules.

then you run the following after compilation:

#!/bin/sh

#
# Distro maintainers may modify this reference script as necessary to conform
# to their distribution policies.
#
# Copyright (c) 2006, ATI Technologies Inc. All rights reserved.
#

#
# Parameters:
# $1 is a keyword, either "grant" or "revoke"
# $2 is the display name
# $3 is the X authorization file to be authorized
#
# Returns:
# 0 if authorization was successfully granted/revoked
# nonzero on failure
#
# Note:
# The third parameter only makes sense if xauth is being used. If another
# mechanism such as xhost is being used it can be ignored. For setups that

#

GetServerAuthFile()
{

# vary depending upon whether X was started via xdm/kdm, gdm or startx, so
# check each one in turn.

done

# Couldn't find the key

return -1
}

# Main part of script

if [ -n "$DISP_AUTH_KEY" ]; then
xauth -f $3 add $2 . $DISP_AUTH_KEY || exit -1
else
exit -1
fi

xauth -f $3 remove $2 || exit -1
;;

exit -1
;;
esac
exit 0

and then retry starting x. but i now think the problem stands in the glex.so module, without which dri isn't enabled. the glex.so problem is also on my x200m and i really think that this thing is due to the driver, and that we'll need to wait for the next release to have it fixed.
