Whenever I startx with the radeon driver, the machine hangs, forced to use reset switch, not even C-A-Del works. But with the generic vga driver I get all of 16 colors at less than 640x480.
Here are relevant dmesg lines:
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 94M
agpgart: Unsupported AMD chipset (device id: 700e), you might want to try agp_try_unsupported=1.
agpgart: no supported devices found.
What does agp_try_unsupported mean? Where do I set this setting?
and relevant lspci:

Also attached are the full dmesg and lspci output.
Please help, as it is I am force to use windows to get anything done (that too needed updated drivers before it would work properly).
Thanks in advance -- Josh
