I need to know how to allocate 1Gb video memory. My system: CPU: Intel Core i5-520M Chipset: Intel QM57 OS: Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit Kernel: Linux user-desktop 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux almost the same question was asked here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2011-February/009476.html. But it is not answered. I've googled for this info and found some threads, but still no valuable information on how Video RAM setting can be changed from user space: http://superuser.com/questions/371335/intel-vga-shared-memory http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-linux-vga-video-card-ram/ etc. As far as I can see there is no such info as (==) intel(0): VideoRam: 262144 KB in xorg.log. The only info I have is lspci output: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 46 Memory at fe000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at f160 [size=8] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 According to this thread http://forums.pcpitstop.com/index.php?/topic/139320-setting-intel-shared-video-memory-on-laptop-suse-102/, DVMT 2.0 allocates video ram as needed. But how can I see current video memory usage? Customer application relies on having 1Gb video RAM. Thank you in advance. Regards, Yegor
