64Mb is probably enough. Your first though of limitation on the texture 
size is probably the right one. You'd better ask on the Mesa mailing 
list, because this is off topic for the openchrome project which only 
deals with the 2D driver. Unfortunatly, Unichrome chipset are currently 
without a maintainer in Mesa.

btw, you didn't answered to the list, I'm adding it back.
