mine is "just" a 2645. I don't see further codes on mine, but having a
Pentium-class CPU should make it a 600.

I have never head about a 600R

About ACPI I read that perhaps some needs an update to the BIOS to enable
it? I am not sure. it has ACPI in theory.

narsil# dmesg | grep acpi
acpi0 at mainbus0: Intel ACPICA 20110623
acpi0: X/RSDT: OemId <IBM   ,TP600   ,00000001>, AslId <    ,00000000>
acpi0: SCI interrupting at int 9

later it recognizes battery and other stuff.

I have a Neomagic, I'm almost sure, but I don't see anything in dmesg
proving it!

narsil# dmesg | grep vga
vga1 at pci0 dev 3 function 0: vendor 0x10c8 product 0x0004 (rev. 0x01)
wsdisplay0 at vga1 kbdmux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation), using wskbd0
drm at vga1 not configured


X -configure writes inside the xorg file:

          Driver      "neomagic"


The standard generated xorg generates the same mtrr error though. Perhaps
you get away because you already have a 686 class cpu?

I created the Xorg file, commented out ALL modules, still when I run it:

(++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
mtrr set failed: Function not implemented

When I chec the created log file, i see the card to be configured, thus it
is not a module. Look:

I get a single WW line... the log file doesn't have a single error, yet I
get a big black screen


I'm puzzled.
