tdfxfb in linux-2.6 and 1GiB RAM

[Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi]

Hi people,

I can't use frame buffer (tdfxfb) in linux-2.6 with 1GiB of RAM, but yes with 512MiB.
(The linux-2.4 works ok, in both cases.)

HIGHMEM disabled.

The another problem is, when boot in low resolution default 640x480 and switch with
fbset to 1024x768 for example, it changes ok, but can't draw in all screen, only in a
small area of 640x480 located at upper left of screen, the same for all VTs.

If you need more info in logs/proc/sysfs please let me know.

the @dmesg (1GiB) appears:
fb: Can't remap 3Dfx Voodoo5 register area.
tdfxfb: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -6

and @dmesg (512MiB):
fb: 3Dfx Voodoo5 memory = 32768K
