[PROBLEM] mtrr's not set, 2.6.13
From: Jim McCloskey

I'm not sure who to report this to ....
Somewhere between 2.6.11.3 and 2.6.12 (also under 2.6.13), the
following change occurred on this box.
Under 2.6.11.3, mtrr ranges are automatically set when X is started:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
running 2.6.11.3:
cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xe8000000 (3712MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=2
reg02: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After installation of 2.6.12/13, mtrr ranges are not set:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
running 2.6.13:
Xorg.0.log:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Under 2.6.13 it's fairly easy to force a crash of the X server (e.g. by
playing Tuxracer badly).
The only change here is in the kernel-version. I haven't tried all the
point releases between 2.6.11.3 and 2.6.12, but the relevant Changelogs
don't suggest that anything relevant changed.
I'll add what details I can below. Please let me know what other
information I can supply that might help resolve this.
Thanks,
Jim
