Sorry about that.  I'm seeing three different values related to video RAM.

Here's my cat /proc/mtrr :

reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 128MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x08000000 ( 128MB), size=  64MB: write-back, count=1
reg02: base=0x0bf00000 ( 191MB), size=   1MB: uncachable, count=1

the output of dmesg :

agpgart: Detected an Intel i810 E Chipset.
agpgart: detected 4MB dedicated video ram.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000

and the output of lspci -v :

Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Memory at ffa80000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]

I know I have 192MB of system RAM (128+64).  dmesg says 4MB and 64MB
in the context of video RAM.  lspci -v says 64MB and 512KB.  Should I
execute the following based on 4MB:

echo "base=0xf8000000 size=0x400000 type=write-combining" >| /proc/mtrr
