I killed it again, became the user amanda, and got a segfault when I 
tried to run glxgears.  Nothing in the log for the attempt.

At some point a month or so back when the MelaGL libs were installed, 
glxgears went about 950 fps, but used 99% of the cpu, the Xorg.0.log 
said direct rendering = no at the time.

Gotta run for a few hours, my son, in a large car, just checked in on 
the phone and I need to go pick him up for long enough for a shower 
and toss a few things in the washing machine.

[root at coyote linux-2.6.9-final]# cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xc0000000 (3072MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=2
reg02: base=0xc8000000 (3200MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=3
