I don't think that command " lspci -v -s 01:00.0 " is necessarily reliable
at telling you the actual video RAM for your card. I just ran it on one of
my Atom boxes that I know uses 8 MB of system RAM for the pitiful onboard
video. It reported the following:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 7418
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at fea80000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
I/O ports at dc00 [size=8]
Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Memory at fea40000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: intelfb, i915
One of those lines lists size=256M, but I know that this system is actually
using 8 MB of system RAM for video.
