You do not need agpgart. Make sure that your kernel is compiled with mtrr.
Also check dri.sf.net whether PCI DRI is supported for Radeons.

"XFree86 -configure" shows these options and I can fill in most of them but the rest are confusing suchas "RageTheatreCrystal'?  "Video Key" and do I set up the Rage Theatre as a different Device in XF86Config-4? Maybe these questions have been answered or will help you further.

There are no bttv module options - bttv is for bt848 cards only.

As for Rage Theatre - the GATOS modules should figure out all options
automatically, provided the BIOS is accessible.

If you have a Mac card, you *will* have problems trying to run it on PC.
For Mac settings read the very bottom of http://gatos.sf.net/ati.2.php .
