If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release?

just an update - I've installed karmic koala beta, and this problem still persists.

I have a 256MB 8400M GS which reports 512MB in the same manner yours reports double. It looks like the nvidia drivers allocate some system memory for a cache and show it as the memory there. If you do a lspci -v it will show the actual memory on the card like this: Memory at d000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] My Xorg.0.log says: (--) Oct 04 19:02:07 NVIDIA(0): Memory: 524288 kBytes -- Nvidia driver detects VRAM incorrectly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA, would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it resolves this bug?
