mtrr: 0xd8000000,0x2000000 overlaps existing 0xd8000000,0x800000

so it seems your card HW said it need 64M,

someone (BIOS or vgabios?) set 8M for it at first. and with write-back...

   # cat /proc/mtrr
   reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1
   reg01: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
   reg02: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
   reg03: base=0xd8000000 (3456MB), size=   8MB: write-back, count=1

before loading X drivers, need to remove that entry at first.

echo "disable=3" > /proc/mtrr
