Right, this param specification somehow didn't work here:

although the whole driver blubber didn't appear on the console fterwards
aso something got turned off allright.
Then, I went and tried "radeon.no_wb" where the driver blubber appeared
but AGP writeback was still enabled:

Ok, I hope I turned off the proper WB thing (I'm assuming you meant the
radeon_no_wb parameter).
And I'm running with it now, will report what happens.
Btw, I'm no GPU guy but why does radeon_wb_init() do all that memory
allocation and cleaning if wb can be disabled with a parameter?
Shouldn't it be checking the parameter, ->family, etc setting first and
only do the allocations when rdev->wb.enabled remains true?
Thanks.
