Bug#567433: closed by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> (Re: Bug#567433: firmware-linux-nonfree: huge increase in used memory (RAM) right after system startup)

[Alter Ego <alter_ego@vizzavi.pt>]

Thank you for your explanation.

Please, don't get me wrong. I accept your explanation and I thank you 
for your reply.

But don't you think that 32 MB just for enabling DRI is too much??
Don't you think the huge icrease in used memory (more 32 MB) is a 
symptom that something is very wrong with the firmware file (R300_cp.bin) ?

Also with the previous kernel I was using the graphics card with no 
problems at all and without this 32 MB in icreased memory...

Just one more question:
Could you please tell me if you think I can disable the firmware without 
having any problems? I don't do compiz or video editing...

Best regards,

JJCale
