- gpderetta 6y agoDo you mean phisical address space or actual physical memory?
- dooglius 6y agoActual physical memory. I actually have a hack in order to reclaim and use some of this on my laptop.
- josephg 6y agoHow can you tell how much video memory is allocated & reserved by UEFI? I’d love to read more about this (and the hacks you used to get around it).
- dooglius 6y agoI just noticed the difference between what the manufacturer advertised and what the BIOS provided. Maybe I'll do a write-up of what I did at some point, but it's highly non-portable, and somewhat unsafe. Generally, the BIOS is supposed to allow the amount of video memory taken to be set along with other BIOS options, but there's no option in mine for whatever reason.
