Description:
Everything refresh slow, when minimize and maximize windows. The Motherboard is ASRock G41M-LE, Intel G41 Chipset and Intel GMA X4500 video: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=G41M-LE&s=775 , and the problem is: *ERROR* Detected broken video BIOS with 262140/262144kB of video memory stolen. I boot with i915.modeset=0 in GRUB. If no this option kernel can't boot. I don't have xorg.conf file. Update to last BIOS version(1.90). Additional info: * package version(s) kernel26 - 2.6.32.3-1 Try and kernel26-2.6.33rc3 from AUR problem is still there xf86-video-intel - 2.9.1-1 intel-dri - 7.7-1 Everything up-to-date... * config and/or log files etc. [kras@DALAVERA ~]$ dmesg | grep drm [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [drm] MTRR allocation failed.

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: This is not a bug but intended behaviour. Setting video memory to the full aperture size disables GEM. The error message is clear enough.

Try every options(three) in BIOS - Video can be - 1.Onboard 2. PCI 3. PCI-E , try video size 128MB 256MB and dynamic video RAM no success.
Are you sure that the problem is hardware(BIOS bug)?
I think that this is a driver problem, but I'm not expert.
Any suggestion, nobody have same motherboard or same Chipset?
Nobody can't help me?
With PAVP disable and memory 256MB or Auto the problem is still here.
I can only use 128MB of Video ram.
Is there a way to have parameter in GRUB that regulate my dedicate video memory size.
If there is such way that I can try what is maximum video memory I can have? Something like mem=1024M in GRUB for all memory, but for video memory.
And I don't understand this line in file ~/src/linux-2.6.33/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_dma.c:
lines 1435 to 1442

Your BIOS allocates a small aperture size, and when setting your video memory to 256MB, you'll limit the dynamic video memory allocation in a way that it can't operate. There's really no point in allocating the complete aperture size for video memory. On my X4500HD I have 64MB pre-allocated memory with 256MB aperture, it does all I need.
