Thanks Matthew, Francisco. "vbetool vbestate restore" didn't restore video for me. However, enabling the HAL quirk for vbe_post did. "vbetool post" itself didn't, but I'm not sure whether there's supposed to be a correspondence there. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478369 was creat

Hello again. I am a goat and in an effort to verify that the XAA and EXA performance difference was or wasn't just a Ubuntu issue, I tried installing Fedora 10. Yada yada, Ubuntu got clobbered, Fedora has broken dbus and .gstreamer-0.10 permissions, etc. However! I did salvage two Xorg.0.log's

Yes Francisco. This has fixed the issue of being off-centre and such. I'll note that, though X displayed correctly, while using it, new windows would come up simply as white boxes for the first few seconds, I'm not sure to. As well, when I did open a window or a menu or such, the entire desktop

Hello. I'm not sure if that changed anything, but things sort of work. After patching, recompiling, and reinstalling the driver, X would still be off centre. However, I restarted the computer the first time I ran X, everything appeared as I would hope. I then brought it down and back up again,

Thank you, again. Yes, the MTRR errors do not appear to be fatal. Option "UseBIOS" "off" makes a big difference. The screen is no longer just black, and I can see a background and the moving cursor! However, it is as though the hsync and vsync are terribly off- as the display is quite a bit off-
