I suppose I could have done this in one message...

Is VESA for Nvidia cards slightly broken? I've got a 32MB
TNT2 Ultra in one particular box (dual boot) and kernel
reports:

CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (400.91-MHz 686-class CPU)
VESA: v3.0, 16320k memory, flags:0x1, mode table:0xc02bea62 (1000022)
VESA: NVidia
pci1: <NVidia Riva TNT2 graphics accelerator> at 0.0 irq 10
agp0: <Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge> mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff at device 0.0 on pci0

Memory count is wrong, yet on a ATI 32MB R128 I get:

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor (750.03-MHz 686-class CPU)
VESA: v2.0, 32768k memory, flags:0x1, mode table:0xc025c4c2 (1000022)
VESA: ATI RAGE128
pci1: <ATI Rage128-RF graphics accelerator> at 0.0 irq 10
agp0: <VIA Generic host to PCI bridge> mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff at device 0.0 on pci0

Anyone got a theory/reason/suggestion?
