Really... I did not notice in your original email that it
reports G400 as 2MB only device... Can you send me
output of 'lspci -s X:Y.Z -vvvxxx' (where X:Y.Z is
your G400 device, probably 1:00.0 or 2:00.0) with
2.4.19-pre10, and with Alan version? Alan's version
uses data from BIOS to set memory type, and it
apparently made mistake.

In Alan's kernel you should have option to enable procfs
interface - can you enable it and send me also
contents of /proc/driver/mga/fb*/pins. It is binary
file, if you want, you can parse it by matrox_pins
from ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest.
