Folks: Anybody notice that enabling PCI write combining (the so-called "fastvid" hack) causes the SMP kernel to lock up solid once X is running? In text mode, the kernel seems stable, but once X is started, it's like a counter starts ticking, and within about five minutes, it freezes. Disabling write combining lets X run without any difficulties. Known bug? I'm running SNAP-980523 on a Tyan 1662 with 5.01(?) BIOS. -David.
