Hi all...
My aspire one is giving some strange MTRR settings with rc7-git5 (and prevous kernels, but that is what I run now...):
one:~> cat /proc/mtrr reg00: base=0xfffe0000 (4095MB), size= 128KB: write-protect, count=1 reg01: base=0xfffc0000 (4095MB), size= 128KB: uncachable, count=1 reg02: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1 reg03: base=0x10000000 ( 256MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1 reg04: base=0x1f800000 ( 504MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1 reg05: base=0x1f600000 ( 502MB), size= 2MB: uncachable, count=1 reg06: base=0x1f500000 ( 501MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 reg07: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 128KB: uncachable, count=1
Therefor, intel x11 driver can not set its own MTRRs, no space left.
For example, could not this two
reg02: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1 reg03: base=0x10000000 ( 256MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
in one
reg02: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
??
And some people (google :)) say that this:
reg04: base=0x1f800000 ( 504MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1
is a failed attempt to set up video memory. (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=412972)
Add what are these ?
reg05: base=0x1f600000 ( 502MB), size= 2MB: uncachable, count=1 reg06: base=0x1f500000 ( 501MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1
And, btw, could MTRR display be ordered by base address ? This would make things much clear to understand...:
one:~> cat /proc/mtrr | cut -d' ' -f2- | sort base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 128KB: uncachable, count=1 base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1 base=0x10000000 ( 256MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1 base=0x1f500000 ( 501MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 base=0x1f600000 ( 502MB), size= 2MB: uncachable, count=1 base=0x1f800000 ( 504MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1 base=0xfffc0000 (4095MB), size= 128KB: uncachable, count=1 base=0xfffe0000 (4095MB), size= 128KB: write-protect, count=1
TIA.
