Comment 79 for bug 391461

On my Asus A6 some strange things are happening. Kernel says CPU does not support PAT, but xorg sees it.

Kernel definitely says that

[ 0.000000] PAT not supported by CPU.

/proc/cpuinfo flags are:
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe up bts est tm2

Certainly something is broken either in kernel or in xorg.
