Hi Julien,

But shouldn't the driver be able to allocate and handle memory up to 
2048x2048?
Another thing I've experienced is that if I add the line "Virtual 2048 2048" 
again, I just get a white screen with mouse pointer, but I cannot do anything 
with it. Switching to a tty works though. This behaviour cannot be observed 
when I am switching off 3d effects in KDE. But that's probably something I 
should file a bug against KDE?

Thanks,
Sten
