Did you compile the dri kernel module, and did the module and the agp module
load?

Can you post your /var/log/Xfree86.0.log ? Also log in that file and see if
there is any line marked with EE (signifying a startup error). Also if you stop
your display manager (xdm,gdm,kdm,wdm) and do startx from the command line? You
will get more verbose output that way.
