[solved] AGP Error after last update with fglrx driver

Hello. I updated today (current: the new beyond kernel and the new fglrx driver) and have errors.
This i found in my Xorg.0.log:

(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP

Any ideas?

Hm, a little bit of context would be nice (a few lines before and after the error in the log) - but it sounds like your kernel module isn't loaded. 

Did you exit X before updating your drivers?

Ok:

Full Xorg.0.log.
This is from the Stock Kernel, I normaly used the Beyond Kernel, but rebooted with this for testing. Its the same error.

My Xorg.Conf:
http://rafb.net/paste/results/od8gRY60.html
I experimented with the line
Option    "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes"/"no"
but no effect.

Update was done while in runlevel 3, so without X.

Also tried to rmmod and then removed the fglrx packages, reinstalled the packages and load the module -> no effect, same error

Module is loaded correctly:

[sorcerer@sorcdesk ~]$ lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx                 382828  0
agpgart                27108  2 fglrx,intel_agp

// edit :
Found the old Packages for 8.24.8 in my pacman cache and installed them. With this version all is fine.
Any ideas, why the new driver version is not working?

but no effect.

That shouldn't do anything; the Arch packages for fglrx have never built internal AGP support, and as of this version,  ATI has actually completely removed their internal AGPGart.

Could you try rmmod'ing fglrx, then modprobe'ing it, then show the output of dmesg | tail?   For some reason, it's not able to acquire a lock on AGP... at boot, are you sure you load agpgart and intel_agp before fglrx?  If you're relying on module autoloading, try adding:

agpgart intel_agp fglrx

To your MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf, in that order specifically, and see if it helps.

Re: [solved] AGP Error after last update with fglrx driver

thx, it was the modules autoloading.
After adding the modules in the right order in rc.conf it works.
