The UBUNTU SAUCE patches that add module support to vesafb make the "mtrr" module parameter "bool". This only allows the values 0 and 1, thus no MTRR entries or "uncachable" MTRR entries. To enable write-combining (or write-back) MTRR entries, the "mtrr" module parameter should be "uint" (or "int").

I'll attach two patches, the first makes the described modification, the second one additionally makes write-combining MTRR entries the default. (Just as it already is for e.g. uvesafb.)

Kind regards,
