I have such a machine that showed this problem and when I wrote the patch I tested it on it (and on a couple of others of course). No twice as fast on my testing. In fact there are two types of ATI machines: ones that have a BIOS workaround for the original Linux issue and ones that don't. Keeping both happy is not easy. So I'm somewhat dubious on that.

Reverting is the best option right now. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
