That patch fixes the problem for me also, Benjamin. Thank you! 

Now I have my proper framebuffer console fully usable again (I had switched to VESA fb console in the interrim and that was OK, but it was causing a conflict with the linear framebuffer handle, unable to allocate an mtrr and unable to use write combining on starting X/DRI)

ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] on i845 chipset.
