Intel_agp locks up xorg 7

Question

hello,
i have a Dell optiplex 270, with a Radeon 9200SE. The motherboard is based on the intel 865-chip, so the AGP-port uses intel_agp i presume.
when i let Arch autoload the modules it loads intel_agp anyway.
but when i wanna start X (xorg 7 from testing) my PC blocks: black screen, and i'm not able to go to another terminal.  Booting into init 3 works without problems untill i start X
When i put intel_agp in the blocklist on the other hand, X works.
but i wanna get DRI working, and in /var/log/Xorg.0.log it says:
(WW) xf86OpenConsole: Could not save ownership of VT
(WW) xf86OpenConsole: chown /dev/tty0 failed: No such file or directory
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode disabled
(WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available
(EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI.
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
so i assume it need that intel_agp module.
the cleaned out versions of my rc.conf, xorg.conf and lsmod are on

how comes this intel_agp module blocks my whole PC, and only when i start X?

Well "Deon"...I'm sorry to say. ...You most definatly need a new PSU....To tell you the truth, I find it hard to believe that you can get the PC to even POST. ..You have been lucky....I sugest that you go and get a new quality PSU...I would try either a Enermax 450 or a Antec True Power 420 or 480Watt, the 480 Antec True Power unit would be the Best choice though http://www.antec.com  http://www.enermax.com   Most people do not realize that the Northwood P-4's that are faster than 2.0 GHZ can draw up to 11.0 Amps on the +12 Volt Rail under full load..And your PSU has a 12 Amp rating on the +12 V Rail ....Not to mention that you have a combined wattage max of 140 on the +3.3 V and +5.0 V rails......So I know it is hard to believe but your 300 Advertized watt PSU...Really is more like a 200 "Real" Watt Power Supply.....Now I'm not saying to compare my PSU specs. to yours, as I have a little overkill on the +5.0 Rail..........Sean REILLY875
