Re: New ATI fglrx drivers work with AMD64

[Manuel Capinha <mcapinha@gmail.com>]

Small add-on:

My problem is somewhere in the kernel module, it seems:
(from dmesg)

[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.8.25 [Jan 14 2005] on minor 0
Fire GL built-in AGP-support
Based on agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 941M
agpgart: Detected AMD 8151 chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 32M @ 0x4000000
Power management callback for AGP chipset installed
[fglrx] AGP detected, AgpState   = 0x1f000b7b (hardware caps of chipset)
mtrr: type mismatch for 4000000,2000000 old: write-back new: write-combining
[fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* Process 25297 using kernel context 0


PID 25297 is my X server.

So, is anyone else seeing this ? I've got no clue about that error message :/

Thanks once again,
Manuel
