Attached.  I'm up, can't sleep when coughing ones head off.  And 
pursuant to a message quite a ways down that log, I'm now rebuilding 
the kernel with support for the ATI as well as the NForce2 in the 
make xconfig char->agp section. The question is, do I choose for the 
motherboard agp, or the cards agp?  The make xconfig help is less 
than helpfull in defning that.  Anyway, making both as modules just 
for giggles, as I noted also that the nvidia wasn't loaded according 
to an lsmod.
So once rebooted (amanda is running right now) I should have access to 
this list of modules:

make modules_install
  INSTALL drivers/acpi/video.ko
  INSTALL drivers/char/agp/agpgart.ko
  INSTALL drivers/char/agp/ati-agp.ko <-this ones new
  INSTALL drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko
  INSTALL drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko
  INSTALL drivers/video/aty/radeonfb.ko

The last one, nor the nvidia-agp.ko, have neither one been loaded 
right now.

Lets just say that its a bit confusing when the motherboard has all 
this stuff flying about cause its an NForce2 chipset, aka nvidia, and 
the card is from the even darker side, an imitation ATI. X-Tasy brand 
or some such knockoff.  So I'm gonna save this in drafts, and see 
what I get for a reboot once amanda is done.  Which shouldn't be much 
longer...

Ok, couple of hours later & one reboot.

The Xorg.0.log says I should be loading the agpgart module first, so I 
loaded agpgart, then removed the radeon, and restarted X.  No diff, 
and both modules are reporting 0 users.  Do I need to add something 
to modprobe.conf?  I'm gonna unload them both, then reload agpgart 
and restart X one more time.

Didn't help, so I've turn on the debugging of the ati driver and 
rebulding it again.  Later, gotta get some zzz's.
