Glimmer of hope didn't bright long enough :'( , this doesn't seem to fix any lockup for me. I tested Half-Life, Deus Ex, Hitman 2 and Jedi Outcast; differently to another feedback those games have always been working but lockup after a few minutes.

However i noticed that lspci displays different ADDR for primary and secondary.. on bugzilla you were peeping out the secondary entry while on ml this is the primary one. Here's my lspci output :

First i tried the primary one (e9000000), but it screwed up both text mode and X, when the second one(e9010000) worked with some "RD errors" but obviously makes no difference for the games above. Which one should be the correct one ?
