I have a el cheapo Maddog ATI 9250 AGP card driving the DVI port on a
Dell 2001FP LCD display.  In order to get it up, I had to make a few
additions to my xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "radeon"
	VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
	BoardName   "ATI Radeon 9200PRO"
	Option	    "EnablePageFlip" "true"
	Option	    "AGPSize" "64M"
	Option	    "AGPMode" "2"
EndSection

IIRC, it really was the Option "AGPMode" "2" that did the trick...before
I made that change I had a blank screen.  Note that although the card
was sold as a 9250, xorg thinks it is a 9200PRO.  

I have added a few mode lines to move the screen a few pixels to the
left but it works fine with the stock modelines other than being shifted
6 pixels to the right.  I use this monitor at 1600x1200.

The system motherboard is an Asus K8V/Athlon 64 3200+ and it is running
using the same xorg.conf with both FC3 i386 and FC4 T2 x86_64 with no
apparent problems.  However, the
Anaconda generated FC4 T2 (and FC3, for that matter) xorg.conf did not
work....it tried but gave a corrupted upper 1/4 screen with the lower
potions looking ok, but the system was unresponsive.  My substitute
xorg.conf fixed the problem. 

HTH,

Karen
