In order to get 3d hardware acceleration on my thinkpad
[ ATI Technologies Inc Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) ]
I had to install xserver-xfree86 4.0.2-13 [which I assume you also have,
if you're up to date w. woody] and install the agpgart and r128 modules
[including the 440LX agp support]
CONFIG_AGP=m
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
# CONFIG_AGP_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA is not set
CONFIG_DRM_R128=m
# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
Then I put
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
entries in the "Module" Section of XF86Config
and added:
Section "DRI"
Group "users"
Mode 0660
EndSection
The XFree86 driver I use id the r128 driver.
You may have to fiddle with permissions on
/dev/agpgart, /dev/dri and /dev/dri/card0
