Looks like the driver just clipped the screen when using 1280x854, I
did not notice because I used fvwm which did not use any of the corners.
I now change to 1152x768 and the size is now correct. Thanks for
noticing.

Ok, I disabled AGP in the kernel. The modules now load correctly and
glxinfo says that I`m using direct rendering. The glxgears shows a big
increase in the FPS number, so I guess everything is ok now :)

Disabling AGP seems a bit strange, why wouldn`t I want to use AGP?
Or is this just a bug that will be fixed eventually?


Thanks for your help,
