Description Daniel Qarras 2007-10-19 09:51:38 UTC
With current git I'm getting the warning below no matter I set for GARTSize:

in RADEONProbeOutputModes
compiz (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
start time: Tue Dec 26 06:00:00 2006

*********************************WARN_ONCE*********************************
File r300_mem.c function r300_mem_alloc line 225
Ran out of GART memory (for 1048576)!
Please consider adjusting GARTSize option.

My card is ATI Mobility Radeon X700.

PS. As can be seen from the option, GARTSize must be NUM, "NUM" is not accepted. That is unintuitive as with all other options "NUM" is accepted.

mind your quotes.  should be:
        Option      "GARTSize" "256"
Comment 2 Michel Dänzer 2007-10-19 10:05:32 UTC
Also mind bug 12612 though, try 32 to be safe.
