    I just downloaded and installed the the latest Omega driver for my x300 on i6000d. Everything seemed to be fine. But when I cliked on "SmartGart" from the ATI Tool Tray, a error message popped out which says "no AGP card detected". HOw could this be possible? It still didn't work after I reinstalled the driver for my chipset.

    How can I enable my AGP card or at least make it detectable?

    Please help me out here!

    Edit: I just figured out that x300 is based on PCI-E instead of AGP. Is that right?

    Yes, it is PCI-E.

    THis is probably because you downloaded a driver from the ati site and not from the dell site, you need laptop drivers, not desktop drivers, you cant just use any old driver from the ATI website. your laptop is PCI Express, not agp.
