FC2 T2 and ATI fglrx

[Jesus D]

Hi Chris:

  Maybe remember this error, both not it surely, the
people the forums Rage3D, LinuxQuestions.org,
DRI-devel  
recommend disable DRI the kernel 2.6.X and AGP with
modules and use patch REGPARAM with driver ATI fglrx.

 Iam check the forums the this issues.

  Thanks and Regards
