Well, I think you have misunderstood my question(s). I may have been |
| 5 |
unclear as to what I would like to achieve... My goal is to see if my |
| 6 |
MTRR settings are ok or not; well, even better would be if I could |
| 7 |
understand the settings so that I can make a judgement myself if it's ok |
| 8 |
or not. |

The video (X) works fine as it is (not counting the occasional artifact |
| 11 |
in 3D games). |

Well, I tried to live on the "edge" a little, trying it out... ;-) |

I run fglrx (AMD/Atis binary blob) and the ebuild complains if I don't |
| 27 |
have certain options set. This may have changed but I've used the same |
| 28 |
config for a while now (since around 2.6.13-14) on older systems (with |
| 29 |
AGP). I'm planning to migrate to radeonhd (or maybe the r300) driver |
| 30 |
when it has 3D support and has stabilised somewhat. |

I think I've found some more info on what I'm after: |
