2.4.21rc6-ac1 Nforce2 AGP+ATI FireGL v2.9.12=hard lock

Hi,
Just compiled 2.4.21rc6-ac1 with Nforce2 AGP as module.
Then tried to install Ati FGLRX 2.9.12 from
http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/download_ati.html
http://www.schneider-digital.de/download/ati/glx1_linux_X4.3.zip
because Ati didn't released XFree 4.3 driver on their www yet.

During install of this rpm i get something like this:
"Patching drmP.h  FAILED, saving rejects to....."
This *.rej file is in attachment.
Then module loads normally. I can start X on this driver, but only in 2d.
Trying to run Tuxracer and any other 3d game hardlocks my machine. 2d 
games works ok.

Everything was OK on clean 2.4.21rc6 patched with this Nforce2 AGP patch.
http://etudiant.epita.fr:8000/~nonolk/nforce-agp.diff
but Dave Jones told me it is buggy.

My machine
Asus A7N8X-deluxe nforce2 mb
1 GB of ram
Ati Radeon 9700 128M
Agp aperature set to 128M in bios
Mandrake 9.1
XFree86  v4.3

I'll be happy to provide more info if needed :)

Gutko

<troll>
	does anyone else find it ironic that when he uses ATi FireGL stuff on an 
nVidia chipset mobo, it hardlocks?  *snicker*
</troll>

mod me down -5 troll accordingly, thanks.

If it patches the kernel then I wouldnt be suprised if the patches are
not compatible

Worse yet, it has its own bastardised agpgart support also.
