I'd be glad to, however I no longer run FreeBSD. I have since switched to Linux. While FreeBSD was stable and reliable on my machine, I found that support for it was lacking in things like multimedia (playing movies, watching TV, and so on). I can say though that the MTRR problem is definitely a bug - under Linux MTRR's cause no trouble at all. I now use Linux Mandrake 8 with the default 2.4.3 kernel. > It's similar to the patch in the PR with a slight cleanup. The patch is > against current, but hopefully it applies ok to stable. (It should I think). The patch below looks like it should work. Not being much of a C programmer anymore I can't really say for certain though :) It might be adviseable to close this PR if no one else can verify the patch. -- _________________________ ___ ___ | natedac@kscable.com //ZZ]__ | | C64/C128/SCPU |'/ |Z/ | | What's *YOUR* Hobby!? | \__|_\ | |_________________________\___]___| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
