ATI 9500 NOT IGP driver with 3D acceleration
1. Compile AGP Support as a module
2. Compile support for your chipset as a module
DONT select DRM or any graphics drivers
3. Compile the module / install it
Currently the driver 3.7.6 doesnt support the 2.6 kernel, when compiling this
poses a problem, to get around this and to make it work, the function
int __ke_amd_adv_spec_cache_feature(void)
{
must be forced to return 0;
int __ke_amd_adv_spec_cache_feature(void)
{
return 0;
//Original code
This allows the driver to compile and run
4. Edit /etc/modules and add
agpgart
your agp driver
fglrx
not sure why it has to be a module but it works unlike if AGP support is compiled in

as its a laptop.
