hi
i (and many others) have the same problem (with intels 855 chipset). the problem is the shared memory...and afaik that's kernel stuff and not anything X should handle.
look here for a patch: http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/855patch.html
that works fine for me (tested with both, 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels).
regards red_alert

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to get X working properly with the GX270? I can't get more than 640x480 on this box.
Looking at the logs, it seems as if X and the BIOS are having a problem
deciding how much memory is available -

Is this worth a bugzilla?
Cheers! (Relax...have a homebrew)
