Vesafb and mtrr confusion

["Niel Lambrechts" <antispam@absamail.co.za>]

Hi, 

I am using intel-agp for Intel 855PM chipset on a Thinkpad R50P, fglrx
for FireGL T2-128 graphics and vesafb for my console using kernel
2.6.7-rc3-mm1 on SuSE 9.1. 

(I am trying to configure ATI's fglrx driver, and although my error-logs
are clean, 3d still does not work) 

vesafb seems to confuse /proc/mtrr: 
AT STARTUP: 
>cat /proc/mtrr 
reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1 
reg01: base=0x1ff80000 ( 511MB), size= 512KB: uncachable, count=1 
reg02: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size= 2MB: write-combining, count=1 

If my info is correct, reg02 represents the video card memory - and some
posts speculate this field to be wrong, as the FireGL T2 has 128 MB of
video memory, not 2 MB: 
> cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log|grep ATI|grep PCI    
#illustrate videocard mem. address 
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc unknown chipset (0x4e54) rev 128,
Mem @ 0xe0000000/27, 0xc0100000/16, I/O @ 0x3000/8 

FIX: 
> echo "disable=2" >| /proc/mtrr 
> echo "base=0xe0000000 size=0x8000000 type=write-combining" >|
/proc/mtrr 

#0x8000000 = 128MB 

AFTER STARTING X (are these values ok?): 
>cat /proc/mtrr 
reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1 
reg01: base=0x1ff80000 ( 511MB), size= 512KB: uncachable, count=1 
reg02: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1 
reg03: base=0xd0000000 (3328MB), size= 256MB: write-combining, count=1 

#reg00 = ? 
#reg01 = ? 
#reg02 = video card 
#reg03 = AGP I think 

Maybe this is significant? 
1. dmesg when I quit X: 
 ----------------------------------------- 
| mtrr: no MTRR for e0000000,400000 found | 
| mtrr: no MTRR for e0400000,200000 found | 
| mtrr: no MTRR for e0600000,100000 found | 
 ----------------------------------------- 

Other symptoms: 
- glxinfo shows "Direct Rendering = no", although DRI loads ok in the X
log. 
- fgl_glxgears and glxgears runs at measly rates (+-220FPS) 
- lsmod shows fglrx usage count = 7, intel-agp usage count = 1. (seems
too low!) 

To me, it does not seem as if the fglrx driver is using intel-agp, could
the /proc/mtrr have any role in this? (intel-agp usage count stays 1 all
the time) 

Any info would be appreciated, I have wasted days on this, also tried
2.6.5-7.75-default from SuSE with similar results.... 

Regards, 
Niel
