I am getting that with "radeon" unless I will disable DRI in
xorg.conf by commenting out 'Load  "dri"' line.  I found via Google
a suggestion to set explicitely AGP speed.  Unfortunately this does
not help regardless of a value.  Check:

I guess that you can reopen that with new information but see above.
The problem seems to be that I see in logs "DRI support is highly
experimental..." and references to various bits and pieces in that
CVS or some other one.
