By the way, does anyone know why aperture driver with P6 (and higher)
MTRR support is not in NetBSD-current/i386 branch? I almost wrote my
own MTRR support code before discovered an updated version of
aperture LKM in XFree86 4.0 source tree. It's not obvious place for
searching updated aperture driver.
