Hm, I have to see whether GX2 works with the S3V server.
You appear to be right, sir.
The SVGA xserver was what I was using. Changing over to use the S3
server, and then adding back in MTRRs, seems to have solved the
trouble. I'll let you know if it returns, but for now, all appears
well.

After doing some googling
It would appear that, in Family 5, Model 8, Stepping 12 of the K6-2,
AMD used a different CPU core, that was more similar to the K6-3, and
that there is a slightly odd way of doing write-combining.
Perhaps this is the problem?
Anyone with more knowledge on the AMD co
This is precisely my problem.
K6-2, model 8, stepping 12.
Thus far, everything is *fine*, as long as MTRR is not compiled into
the kernel.
If MTRR is compiled into the kernel, I get lock-ups in X *only*, and
the entire machine locks.
I have no data on other CPUs; as I said, I previously had a P166
