If there's any doubt (as there is in your case), it's better to file a separate
report, to avoid cluttering up existing reports with unrelated problems.

That actually looks more like a Unity / X server issue (not rendering the
desktop background properly) than a driver one.

There should be at least 2D acceleration, but the r300g 3D driver indeed
requires KMS.


I wonder if there's any point in keeping this report open, as it seems to
basically boil down to "AGP is broken, and there's little we can do about
it"...
