Where > is it? :) If I had found it, I would have better known what direction to travel to overcome it. :) Aparently Xorg wants to keep it a secret - I saw no "argument". The closest possible answer I can come up with, involves "write combining" and provinding some information in /proc/mtrr But I only have /proc and nothing in it. Thought about echo(1)ing the information to mtrr. But don't understand the whole thing well enough to /dare/ do it. I only know it involves something in this area: 0xfd000000/16777216, 0xf0000000/134217728, 0xfa580000/524288 out of the Xorg log. I'm also not sure if GENERIC knows how to handle mtrr (Memory Type Range Registers) ideally. I hadn't built world/kernel yet because there are also some issues on the ATA ports that need to be resolved. I started a theread on this earlier. Thank you for taking the time to respond. --Chris H >
