I found that if I decrease the AGPSize to 32 I can get rid of some options.

The following is the minimal set:

Section "Device"
        Driver "ati"
 Identifier "Radeon 9200"
        Option "BusType" "PCI"
        Option "AGPSize" "32"
EndSection

It is strange that I have to put a so low AGP size since my card should have 128MB of memory:

lspci -vv gives the following:

I can open a new bug if needed
