Try 2.6.24, I'm afraid that your video might be too new for 2.6.23.
Well, I think you have misunderstood my question(s). I may have been
unclear as to what I would like to achieve... My goal is to see if my
MTRR settings are ok or not; well, even better would be if I could
understand the settings so that I can make a judgement myself if it's ok
or not.
The video (X) works fine as it is (not counting the occasional artifact
in 3D games).
Here are my comments your config:
-In General Setup: Try choosing SLAB allocator.
Well, I tried to live on the "edge" a little, trying it out... ;-)
-Your Bus Options look good.
-I'm 80% sure that you are not supposed to have /dev/agpgart enabled
since you are using PCI-Express....I have a PCI-Express system and I
have it disabled. Actually, I don't have anything enabled under
"Graphic Support". Since you are using Radeon, I think you might need
to enable Direct Rendering Manager, then choose Radeon.
I run fglrx (AMD/Atis binary blob) and the ebuild complains if I don't
have certain options set. This may have changed but I've used the same
config for a while now (since around 2.6.13-14) on older systems (with
AGP). I'm planning to migrate to radeonhd (or maybe the r300) driver
when it has 3D support and has stabilised somewhat.
I think I've found some more info on what I'm after:

(the system programming manual).
Thanks for your time, Andrey!
