another thing i want to ask is if it would make sense to use MTRR
to accelerate video in general...
second, can someone tell me if it would be technically possible
to further accelerate console output by using write-combined cache
for a sequence of text-out (assuming the lack of fbdev, which does (?)
this allready)? if possible, i guess it would make no sense.
even more off-topic: would it make sense to to use write-combining
when writing (small, like the cache-size of disks) data to storage
devices?
thanks
