Well I did, but still can't get WC on the VGA area:
C:\>VESAMTRR -i MTRRCAPS(#FE): 508 (WC is supported) #200: 00000000.00000006 0000000F.F0000800 (000000000-00FFFFFFF, WB) #202: 00000000.AF000001 0000000F.FF800800 (0AF000000-0AF7FFFFF, WC) #204: 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 #206: 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 #208: 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 #20A: 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 #20C: 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 #20E: 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 #250: 06060606.06060606 (FIX64K: 00000-7FFFF) #258: 06060606.06060606 (FIX16K: 80000-9FFFF) #259: 01010101.01010101 (FIX16K: A0000-BFFFF) #268: 05050505.05050505 (FIX4K: C0000-C7FFF) #269: 00000000.00000000 (FIX4K: C8000-CFFFF) #26A: 00000000.00000000 (FIX4K: D0000-D7FFF) #26B: 00000000.00000000 (FIX4K: D8000-DFFFF) #26C: 00000000.00000000 (FIX4K: E0000-E7FFF) #26D: 00000000.00000000 (FIX4K: E8000-EFFFF) #26E: 00000000.00000000 (FIX4K: F0000-F7FFF) #26F: 00000000.00000000 (FIX4K: F8000-FFFFF) #2FF: 00000000.00000C00 (MTRRs enabled, Fixed MTRRs enabled) C:\>VESAMTRR -c=A000-BFFF MSRs 202 and 203 already set to speed VESA LFB access
Repeating the "VESAMTRR -i" command shows exactly the same results as above. I've also confirmed (with video write speed tests) that "-c=A000-BFFF" sets my machines LFB area at AF000000 and not the VGA area at A0000-BFFFF.

It doesn't make any difference whether I use the "-c=A000-BFFF" option first (before a simple "VESAMTRR" command), or after it. In short, VESAMTRR is completely ignoring the "-c=" parameter.

The test machine is a P3 with BX chipset and an 8MB ATI MACH64 video card. Tested under EDR-DOS with both HDPMI16 and HDPMI32 resident.
