Radeon 9200 configuration

Hi everyone.

I've install arch on my old PC with this video card and run in some problems:

1. This what I've added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf:

   Section "Device"
           Identifier "Radeon"
           Driver "radeon"
   EndSection

   And to MODULES:

    MODULES="agpgart amd64_agp radeon"

   with such configuration i'm geting this error in Xorg log:

   [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported

   and they does not starts.

2. If i comment out all from  20-radeon.conf X would start with xf86-video-fbdev driver instead of radeon.

3. If i comment out MODULES, X would start with radeon drivers but video card would start in PCI mode with this error in dmesg:

   [drm:radeon_agp_init] *ERROR* Unable to acquire AGP: -19
   [drm] Forcing AGP to PCI mode

   i've also tried to load nvidia_agp but in does not make difference.

Here is some logs for the third case:
