This is the error from the dmesg log:

[drm] Forcing AGP to PCI mode

2.6.34.x seems to work OK.

This is a 1 GHz Pentium 3 machine, with a Radeon rv280.

Dmesg log from working 2.6.34.2 kernel

I was using 2.6.34.2 before upgrading to 2.6.35.1, and 2.6.34.2 had no such AGP problems.
Comment 2 Chris Rankin 2010-08-15 13:29:56 UTC
One thing that I have noticed is that when 2.6.35.1 puts the card into PCI mode, it places the ring buffer at a completely different address:

2.6.35.1 AGP:
[drm] radeon: ring at 0x00000000F8000000

2.6.35.1 PCI:
[drm] radeon: ring at 0x00000000D0000000

2.6.35.1 also uses all 256M of VRAM on this card, whereas 2.6.34.2 only tries to use 128M. So on 2.6.35.1 we get:

radeon 0000:01:00.0: GTT: 64M 0xF8000000 - 0xFBFFFFFF
radeon 0000:01:00.0: VRAM: 256M 0xF0000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF (256M used)
[drm] radeon: ring at 0x00000000F8000000

Whereas on 2.6.34.2 we only get:

radeon 0000:01:00.0: GTT: 64M 0xF8000000 - 0xFBFFFFFF
radeon 0000:01:00.0: VRAM: 128M 0xF0000000 - 0xF7FFFFFF (128M used)
[drm] radeon: ring at 0x00000000F8000000

So on 2.6.35.1 the GTT overlaps 100% with the VRAM (in AGP mode only), whereas on 2.6.34.2 it does not overlap at all.

I have no idea whether this matters or not, but the memory layout does seem to be the most significant difference between 2.6.34.x and 2.6.35.y.

Please can you check if attached patch fix the issue for you ? (pretty sure it should :))

New dmesg log after patching

Yes, that fixes it. Thanks. Although I guess this means that 128M of VRAM is all that I'll ever get out of this card (on this board).

(Try that again! Ahem!)
