Is agpgart support for your chipset compiled in or as a module? Also,
is the r128 drm support is compiled in or as a module. Before you
start X, load the modules in this order: agpgart, then r128. If it
crashes, try skipping agpgart.

??? I don't know what this means.

'compiled for 4.0.99.900' ... are you using binary gatos drivers?  If
so, the gatos website[1] has a dri debugging guide... check it
out. Basically, I ended up compiling their drm-kernel module and using
that (with X 4.2.0). I got non-agp DRI working on my box that way. My
chipset is very unfriendly with agp'd dri (A7A266) You could try the
drm-kernel modules with debian's 4.1.0 + the substitute gatos XFree
drivers... maybe that will work, but I didn't try it.

Good luck...
Bill
