man mga:
       The  driver will auto-detect the amount of video memory present for all
       chips except the Millennium II.  In the Millennium II case it  defaults
       to 4096 kBytes.  When using a Millennium II, the actual amount of video
       memory should be specified with a VideoRam entry  in  the  config  file
       "Device" section.
