Woohoo! You rock! I'm now looking at a 1280x1024x32 screen on this same desktop machine, admirably panic-free since applying your patches! When I launched the X -configure this time, it printed the following stuff out on the console: MSR 26e, old=1515151515151515 new=101010101010101 MSR 26f, old=1515151515151515 new=101010101010101 Apr 9 13:02:06 freebsd /kernel: MSR 26e, old=1515151515151515 new=101010101010101 Apr 9 13:02:06 freebsd /kernel: MSR 26e, old=1515151515151515 new=101010101010101 Apr 9 13:02:06 freebsd /kernel: MSR 26f, old=1515151515151515 new=101010101010101 Apr 9 13:02:06 freebsd /kernel: MSR 26f, old=1515151515151515 new=101010101010101 Mike Smith would certainly be the man to review your patches since he wrote much (all?) of the original MTRR code. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
