[Bug 397742] Re: doesn't use the sideport memory on Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H

[LAZA]

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  I have the GA-MA790GP-UD4H with an onboard ATI Radeon HD3300 with 128 MB DDR3 so called sideport memory (onboard).
  In the BIOS I activated only the sideport memory for the graphic.
  
  But Ubuntu does not use the sideport memory (it seems so) and uses 512
  MB from the RAM.
  
  When I change the BIOS settings to 'use sideport + DMA' the same
  problem.
