Comment 30 for bug 272530

Hi all.

My laptop should have shared video memory (see below and attachment),
but there are no options in BIOS for changing any settings.

1.)

I started Vista (sorry for this) and looked at the nvidia driver system infos,
i found this:

2.)

Starting the system with the lastest kernel
-----8<--------
admin@nb03:~$ uname -a
Linux nb03 2.6.27-10-generic #1 SMP Fri Nov 21 19:19:18 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
-----8<--------
and no mem=4096m option does not work,
same reboot as with the kernel from the install cd.

greetings
