If atyfb incorrectly reports the memory size, please use
video=atyfb:vram:8192
The fact that you have to disable the virtual screen indicates that you really
have less than 12 MB. The question is why the ATI thinks you have 12 MB.
Perhaps you got the wrong kind of memory expansion? If `video=atyfb:vram:8192'
still gives you problems, that would be an indicator.
