Well, I think you have misunderstood my question(s). I may have been unclear as to what I would like to achieve... My goal is to see if my MTRR settings are ok or not; well, even better would be if I could understand the settings so that I can make a judgement myself if it's ok or not. The video (X) works fine as it is (not counting the occasional artifact in 3D games). > Here are my comments your config: > > -In General Setup: Try choosing SLAB allocator.

I run fglrx (AMD/Atis binary blob) and the ebuild complains if I don't have certain options set. This may have changed but I've used the same config for a while now (since around 2.6.13-14) on older systems (with AGP). I'm planning to migrate to radeonhd (or maybe the r300) driver when it has 3D support and has stabilised somewhat. I think I've found some more info on what I'm after: http://www.amd.com/gb-uk/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_739_7044,00.html (the system programming manual). Thanks for your time, Andrey!
