i have a onboard radeon 7000M (IBM xSeries 226 - appears to be PCI in
documentation). Following your comments i have compiled the 2.6.15.4 with
agpgart modules all disabled. With DRI and GLX extensions loaded, the Xorg 6.9
(Debian testing) the screen get's black (no image). Without the glx extensions,
it runs but no DRI.

I have experienced a lot lockups with this video onboard in this machine. I have
tried a lot configurations and i just get it to run secure (but a lot slow in
windows management, especially with a complex wallpaper) without DRI and GLX.
