Thanks for your response. I haven't had a chance yet to try it without 
radeon module. But here is the output of dmesg greped for agpgart:
[keith@storm keith]$ dmesg | grep agpgart
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M
agpgart: Detected Intel(R) 855PM chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000

I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Thanks for your help,
Keith.
