eric,

i've got only 64MB video memory, while :

$ dmesg | g drm
drm0: <ATI Radeon RV300 Mobility 9600 M10> port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 
0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff,0xff8f0000-0xff8fffff irq 5 at device 0.0 on pci1
info: [drm] AGP at 0xe0000000 256MB
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.19.0 20050911

note, that i'm running 6-stable and cvsuped recently just to discover 
that radeon driver is finally attaching.

many thanks for your work!
