uh no sorry, I always forget about logging

despite the dates like 20080613, I used an ebuild with these lines:
Code:EGIT_BRANCH="r6xx-r7xx-support" EGIT_REPO_URI="git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm"

Anyone know if I should worry if I occasionally get these?:
[ 1532.629872] mtrr: no MTRR for d0000000,10000000 found
Weird thing is that though I've been told this could be because of a buggy BIOS, I'm getting the same error (and same address range) on two mostly different machines (one's intel Core 2 based, other AMD Athlon X2), but both running 2.6.28 with mtrrr/PAT enabled and this latest driver+rx600-rx700-support drm branch.
Only thing I notice is that compositing (using Metacity) is a bit slow (dragging/resizing windows is very jerky), but I don't know if that is normal since I normally don't use it. Also dri and EXA are loaded correctly according to my Xorg log.

Normally there are a few lines talking about loading microcode and writeback tests immediately after the "initialized drm x.x.x" message.
