Hello Suresh. Thanks for responding. I've done 4 successive boots with the boot parameters as shown below. Each boot was basically: set correct parameters in grub -> login to KDE -> reboot and check for artifacts. 1) (none) --> clean 2) vga=791 --> artifacts 3) vga=791 nopat --> clean 4) vga=791 video=vesafb:mtrr:3 --> artifacts So the mtrr option did not help (if I passed it correctly; the double ":" is somewhat non-intuitive). The kernel log also does not show any difference I can see in the last boot, but I don't know if the mtrr option is supposed to show up in any way. From the kernel log for each boot: 1) x86 PAT enabled: cpu 0, old 0x7040600070406, new 0x7010600070106 Console: colour VGA+ 80x25 console [tty0] enabled 2) x86 PAT enabled: cpu 0, old 0x7040600070406, new 0x7010600070106 Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled vesafb: framebuffer at 0x80000000, mapped to 0xffffc20000900000, using 3072k, total 7872k vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16, linelength=2048, pages=4 vesafb: scrolling: redraw vesafb: Truecolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device 3) PAT support disabled Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled vesafb: framebuffer at 0x80000000, mapped to 0xffffc20000900000, using 3072k, total 7872k vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16, linelength=2048, pages=4 vesafb: scrolling: redraw vesafb: Truecolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device 4) x86 PAT enabled: cpu 0, old 0x7040600070406, new 0x7010600070106 Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled vesafb: framebuffer at 0x80000000, mapped to 0xffffc20000900000, using 3072k, total 7872k vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16, linelength=2048, pages=4 vesafb: scrolling: redraw vesafb: Truecolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device Hope that helps.
