Well I don't know exactly whats going on - but when using nouveau
instead of the proprietary nvidia driver, "free"says memory useage is
about 250mb higher than "normal" - which would correspond to the
aperture size of 256mb.
I also experienced the same on an older system with a TNT2 - aperture
is 128mb there, with 384mb total ram. With nouveau there was about
128mb less free memory :/
Any ideas what could be going wrong? Is there any way to limit
aperture size, except in bios?
Thanks again, Clemens

Is there any way, to give all the VRAM to EXA instead only half of it?
(I don't need opengl)
