MTRR == Memory Type Range Register MTRR's are used to mark a portion of memory as write combined, uncacheable, cacheable, write protect, etc... They are used in particular by XFree86 to set up the video framebuffer as a write combined region in order to get up to a 2.5 or so boost in performance with writes to the framebuffer. It isn't clear from your message what exactly it is you are wanting to do, so I can't really advise you. -- Mike A.
