Huh? His 800000 equals the 8Mb of memory that his video card has.
Sounds good to me.
Yes, it's odd that someone would align an 8Mb memory buffer at
0xfeb80000. This is nowhere near an 8Mb boundary.
If I read the above log correlclty the chip has two windows. One at
0xf0000000, no larger than 256Mb and one at 0xfeb80000 no larger than
half a meg.
The second line of the log may well miss-print the "linear FB @"
number. It's probably 0xf0000000. If the rest works, the print on the
second line is wrong/old. The Linear buffer is at 0xf0000000.
