Auto-source .bashrc

I was looking for a way to automatically source the .bashrc file whenever I opened a terminal. I was able to find the directions quickly. Basically what you have to do is source the .bashrc file from within the .bash_profile file because that is what is read when the terminal is opened.

Error on second X session

I was having a problem when I would attempt to start a second X session. I would receive the error:

"failed to initialize umm driver"

from fglrx.

The first site I went to has the solution for the problem. It says

"It's a very common problem. I had also this with my mobility radeon 9700! After a googling session I've found that kernels >=2.6.12 don't have agp locking for user pages, so you must disable it. You have to add this line in your xorg.conf:
Option "KernelModuleParm" "agplock=0"
in the section Device.
Bye

p.s.: this is my xorg.conf
