Hello list,
I read about the changes regarding the mtrr code in the upcoming 2.6.20
kernel and so today I tried rc7.
Since quite some time I had warning messages like
mtrr... overlaps existing...
whenever I started up Xorg with DRI enabled. This doesn't happen anymore
with 2.6.20-rc7.
But now /proc/mtrr shows 256MB of video ram, same as lspci, whereas the
real amount of video ram (as properly detected by X) is only 128MB.
I have a Radeon 9250 from Connect3d with AGP, DVI, VGA, TV-Out and
128bit memory bus width.
I'm wondering if this misdetection could become an issue.
cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=2
reg02: base=0xd0000000 (3328MB), size= 256MB: write-combining, count=3
The lines are RAM, AGP Aperture Size and video ram.
