Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

When my BIOS aperture size is set to 4 MB, X tries to use 8 MB an fails.
Because of this DRI is disabled:

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "agp"
(II) RADEON(0): [agp] Mode 0x1f000203 [AGP 0x8086/0x7190; Card 0x1002/0x5960 0x1043/0x004c]
(II) RADEON(0): [agp] 8192 kB allocated with handle 0x00000001
(EE) RADEON(0): [agp] Could not bind
(EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI.
(II) RADEON(0): [agp] You may want to make sure the agpgart kernel module

and I get only "software rasterizer":

$ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

The interesting thing is agpgart kernel module detects it right:

$ dmesg | grep agp
[    3.265656] Linux agpgart interface v0.103
[    3.899867] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel 440BX Chipset
[    3.901878] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP aperture is 4M @ 0xf3000000
[   22.858042] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP 1.0 bridge
[   22.858127] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: putting AGP V2 device into 2x mode

When I change AGP aperture size in BIOS to 8 MB, everything is OK.

I have Ubuntu 9.10 with xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.99+git20090929
.7968e1fb-0ubuntu1 and according to X.org.log my card chipset is  "ATI
Radeon 9250 5960 (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x5960).
