I noticed something strange with allocation of GPU RAM. In the old BIOS,
the default was 64 MB, but in the new bios, "Auto" was default. So I set
it explicitly to 64 MB. However, this is what the OS reports:
# lspci -vv
...

Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

...

(268435456 is 256*1024*1024.)
