    The () around the mention of agp make it look like you only mention it
    for completeness, and you don't think it's a likely problem.

    I have Mandrake 10.0 community on my home machine, which has a SiS 746
    chipset and a Radeon 7000 card. It never ran acceptably until I upgraded
    to the 2.6.7 kernel. I found out about this in
    http://www.rage3d.com/content/articles/atilinuxhowto/
    It looks like you have to be a bit careful about what version you have
    if you want agp to work, so Kevin should maybe check whether that might
    be the problem.
