Daplas" , linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, Andrew Morton Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought Andrew wanted to see the nvidiafb driver work with a default X86 kernel configuration (which allows for up to 128M to be allocated). Is the driver attempting to allocate exactly 128M because that is how much video ram is present in my video card? If lots of video cards exist that have more than 128M of video ram, won't we be seeing many boot problems with the default kernel configuration? Does this point to a problem in the kernel design? Is this limitation in the kernel's default configuration advantageous?
