A bios update for MSI K7N2 MCP2-T nforce2 board
fixed the crashing BEFORE these patches were developed,
but there was no documentation that would relate or explain.

Award 7.6 at the top of the list. Maybe somebody can figure

Nvidia X driver for ti4200 agp8 still locks up linux though,
but X nv works fine. agp8 3d may expose the timer issue.
