Release notes |
| 22 |
------------- |
| 23 |
WARNING: Since MTRR is now disabled by default, the framebuffer |
| 24 |
might become noticeably slower. In order to avoid that, the use |
| 25 |
of MTRR has to be explictly enabled on the kernel command line. |
| 26 |
The behaviour of previous versions of vesafb(-tng) is equivalent |
| 27 |
to specifying: |
| 28 |
video=vesafb:mtrr:3,<other_options_here> |
