Happened here on both .26 and .28 with the nv driver. But, like you said the message only appeared after X terminated. I only experienced 1 X crash during a week of nv driver usage. No, such messages with the nvidia proprietary drivers however. FWIW the following are the config opts i use for my current .28 gentoo-sources: zsh % zgrep -i mtrr /proc/config.gz CONFIG_MTRR=y # CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER is not set I pass mtrr:4 to the kernel command line.
