Do not run those commands in X, otherwise it hangs.

$ vidcontrol -i mode | grep 1920
383 (0x17f) 0x0000000f G 1920x1080x32 D  8x16  0xa0000 64k 64k 0xe0000000 8100k

$ memcontrol list | grep 0xe0000000
0xe0000000/0x20000000 BIOS uncacheable set-by-firmware active

$ memcontrol set -b 0xe0000000 -l 0x20000000 -o BIOS write-combine
$ startx
