Well changing case 4: to case 4: case 11: dir0_msn = 4; Makes the geode code appear to be called, and nothing is broken so far. Minimal testing so far actually seems to indicate a slight performance improvement. And /proc/cpuinfo no longer shows Unknown model. I am pretty sure in the past I have seen the model name show MediaGX, so I suspect sometime in the last year there was a revision change or something in the cpu modules we are using, since it now shows Unknown. > The databook is available from www.amd.com I believe.

At best it could do APM. Seems the amd site requires an NDA to get at anything useful. Maybe I looked in the wrong place. -- Len Sorensen
