Xorg update: conflicting memory types

Hi,

Since new Xorg update, I can see the folowing message at /var/log/messages.log:

Dec 11 14:36:03 Xorg:2480 conflicting memory types e8000000-f0000000 write-combining<->uncached-minus
Dec 11 14:36:03 reserve_memtype failed 0xe8000000-0xf0000000, track write-combining, req write-combining
Dec 11 14:36:03 Xorg:2480 conflicting memory types e8000000-f0000000 write-combining<->uncached-minus
Dec 11 14:36:03 reserve_memtype failed 0xe8000000-0xf0000000, track write-combining, req write-combining
Dec 11 14:36:03 Xorg:2499 freeing invalid memtype e8000000-f0000000

I don't know if it is relative but, from time to time, the screen and keyboard freezes and need to reboot. Another times, if I click, for example, over a xfce-terminal icon on panel (or whatever application), it opens two or three terminal windows instead of only one.

Thanks in advance.

Afaik that is cause by PAT being enabled, append nopat to your kernel startup string

Re: Xorg update: conflicting memory types

Ok. Adding "nopat" to kernel startup string has resolved this issue.

Thanks.
