Thanks Fabian :)
I had found that link from the mailing list. I tried it, and this is what I
found:
 - still no agp0 device found. My kernel conf contains:
--
[...]
device          agp             # support several AGP chipsets
#device      drm
#device          radeondrm
[...]
---
but dmesg showed nothing when booting with that kernel. I was loading drm and
radeon.ko via boot/loader.conf.local. dmesg showed:
[...]

When loading X with Load "dri" enabled, it just locks up. I used to have drm
package installed , and the results were the same wrt. locking up.

I now realise that when I run the kernel with your patch, i only had libdrm
installed... i guess it is not a valid test for the X part (though I would have
hoped agp0 to be detected... 

pciconf -lv

    device   = 'M24 1P Radeon Mobility X600'
    class    = display

any suggestions and/or comments are greatly appreciated :)

Cheers,
