Athlon 64, running FreeBSD/i386

>Description:

Running FreeBSD-i386 on an Athlon 64, with a radeon
9600 video card and a SiS760 AGP bridge, using X.org
6.9; GENERIC kernel with agp, dri, and radeon dri
compiled in.

When starting Xorg using the system as configured
above, DRM fails to initialize with the following:

agp0: binding memory at bad offset 0

This causes DRM, hence DRI to fail, resulting in no
acceleration for GLX under X.  Somewhat frustrating,
as I had purchased the radeon card to solve precisely
this problem (with the built-in graphics).

The reason: the AGP driver thinks that the aperture
size is 4M - when, in fact, it is 64M.  The aperture
initialization then fails because AGP_GET_APERTURE()
is returning 4M, whereas the radeon DRI driver is
using the size information returned by agp_get_info()
(which retrieves the size of the allocated resource
directly from the resource manager, using
rman_get_size(sc->as_aperture) - this may or may not
be a bug).  So agp_alloc_gatt() fails because it's
asked to allocate 64M but only believes 4M is
available.


>How-To-Repeat:
Use an Athlon 64 motherboard with a SiS 760 AGP bridge
and (in my case) a radeon 9600 video card.  Start
Xorg.  No DRI.

>Fix:

After the following patch, things magically started
working (it just adds the SiS760 device ID to the
agp_amd64.c handler):
