Yes I get something similar with the 2.6.0 kernel.

Here's my dmesg when using the internal fglrx AGP driver.

I get the same error with the 3.7.0 driver.

The ATI driver works fine with the 2.4 kernels but if you're like me, you
probably want to run 2.6 for its new features. For now, I've swapped out
my Radeon 9000 Pro for an old NVidia GeForce2 MX 400 until ATI steps up
to fix their buggy driver.
