BIOS - All : 4091M (!!!!) Probe : 511M (which seems correct as I have 512 MB Ram and 1 MB is shared graphics ram) -- Best Regards Justin Heesemann - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
