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).

Well, I tried to live on the "edge" a little, trying it out... ;-)

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:

(the system programming manual).

Thanks for your time, Andrey!
