Summary: several probelms with DRI on Dell Inspiron 8000

Details: I have installed the XFree 4.0.2 RPMs from SuSE on a Dell Inspiron
8000 notebook (with ATI Mobility M4/32 MB video RAM/128 MB system RAM/i815
chipset for 4x AGP).

The distribution is SuSE Linux 7.0 with Kernel 2.2.16 (kernel with APM
support), including the agpgart driver.
I have compiled and installed the DRM modules for Xfree 4.0.2 according to
the instructions in the XFree 4.0.2 readme file by SuSE.
(I have also tried kernel 2.4.0 with the included agpgart and r128 DRM
modules, with identical results).

Problem #1:
When I start the X server, both the agpgart- (with the option
"agp_try_unsupported=1" when using kernel 2.2.16) and r128- modules are
loaded, but the screen flickers in a strange way (especially when accessing
the harddisk).

Problem #2:
According to the X11 logfile, DRI seems to be fully initialized, but as
soon as I start a client that uses OpenGL, the GL window appears all black
and X totally hangs.
The mouse cursor can still be moved but neither keyboard nor mouse buttons
are responding anymore.

When I do not load the agpgart and r128 modules, X runs fine, without
flickering, but OpenGL apps only run in software rendering mode, of
course... :(
