I was looking at this about two weeks ago for someone else and we didn't make a lot of progress. I think it is another problem other than MTRR problem that the ASUS boards were tickling. Even if we disabeled the MTRR code we still ended up with lockups. Since then I've discovered by experimentation that some of the MTRRs seem to control the mapping of the ACPI tables into memory on my motherboard (ASUS A7A266). Speculating wildly, it is possible that on the A7N266-E the mapping of the video BIOS is controled by a similar means, but isn't mapped in by default. In that case X would have to know some seriously ugly magic to know how to map the BIOS. OTOH, the problem could be something completly different. David.
