This isn't actually a bug per se, only 128 MB of video ram are accessable by the
host CPU, so the current radeon driver clips all boards to 128 MB at them
moment.  We should probably report the actual amount detected and them tell the
user that it has been clipped or better yet use the extended ram for textures
(see bug 5353).
