i830M chipset

[Shawn Tayler]

The System only reports a default of 800K of "Stolen Memory"  while the
bios is set for 8M.  This limits me to 8bit color at 1024x768 res.  I'd
like to get that up to a more reasonable number.  The patches I have seen
ar all for the 2.4.18 and 19 kernels and XF4.2.0.  I am at 4.4.0 and 2.6.5.
 Even the Intel page is dated back a ways and the driver itself will not
function even after the provided modules are loaded.  XF fails out with an
error 11.

I am wondering if there are some utils in XF86 that would help probe a bit.
 I have the frame buffer stuff loaded in the kernel already.
