I don't understand that. What does reducing the amount of
videoram have to do with a ramdisk?
I see no reason to force VideoRam to lower than what there
actually is, but if you do it's possible that something in
core XFree86 code requires it to be a power of two. Write combine
ranges can only be setup on power of two apertures. Nothing in
the "nv" driver has changed in this respect.
