RE: [suse-amd64] Solving the Tyan 2885 AGP performance issues
From: Steven A. DuChene [mailto:linux-clusters@mindspring.com]
Great, but what about the same fixes for the 2.6 kernels?
A better fix for the AGP issue already exists in the 2.6 kernel. Andi Kleen and I are looking into the MTRR issue, but we need a test case that doesn't depend on the nVidia driver, since that driver doesn't support 2.6. We should have an answer by the end of the month. -Mark Langsdorf Team Lead, Linux Device Drivers Advanced Micro Devices
Why not just use the nvidia driver to trigger the mtrr problem? After all there is patches and documentation to allow the nvidia drivers to work with 2.6 kernels. It may not be "supported" but it appearently works. On Fri, Jan 23, 2004 at 11:37:05PM -0600, mark.langsdorf@amd.com wrote:
