This is a Rage128, not a Radeon.

agp is built into the kernel and r128 is already kldloaded.

I tried kldloading radeon anyway and running glxgears. It can't do any
better than about 10 fps at 1024x768/24bits.

Mind you, this might have something to do with it:

$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

And yet, quoting snippets from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a
(II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

/etc/X11/xorg.conf also has this:

Section "DRI"
   Mode 0666
EndSection

There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action.
