It probably doesn't really use that much memory up front. The log file has a detailed overview of the AGP aperture layout after 'Memory allocation layout:', but note that e.g. the 'DRI memory manager' item is just a reservation of aperture space and doesn't actually use up any memory until you run a 3D application with the new i915tex Mesa driver (for which you'd need at least a 2.6.21 kernel and drm GIT at this time). -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
