radeon.modeset=0 didn't seem to affect anything.

I don't. This is the only AGP mobo I have (others are PCI-E or PCI
only). And it's running VIA C3 (Nehemiah-core) processor. It doesn't
support P4 but only P3 and P2 (Slot 1 or Socket 370 with Slotket as I
use it).

I wonder why my grub is just some colorful crap on bottom of my screen.
I can't really edit anything on fly but I have to always make changes
to /etc/default/grub and then issue update-grub. That may have something
to do with this bug.


I also noticed that all of my memory is LOWMEM. Though graphics card
doesn't change that (tried with ATI Rage 128VR that has trouble with DRI
on Debian 6).
