Hmm... Alright, I have a patch I'd like you to try. I don't know that
this will really have an effect, but I'm curious to see what it does.
If this doesn't work, then the only other thing I can think of is if
you can give me login access to your machine so that I can try some
experiments.
Anyway, to apply the patch, do the following:
- Save this message to /tmp/vr.patch (or something similar).
- Become root.
- Type the following:
# cd /sys/pci
# patch < /tmp/vr.patch
- Compile a new kernel and boot it.
Let me know if this has any effect on the card's behavior.
