That's interesting. I was booted up in Lenny using the 2.6.11 kernel, and usually see Gkrellm showing 885Mb of my 1Gb RAM. I've since rebooted with the 2.6.17 kernel , and with that kernel, Gkrellm is showing the full 1005Mb of RAM. The onboard graphics card is a Cyberbladei1 (trident driver). Quite why booting with the 2.6.11 shows 885Mb, and booting with the 2.6.17 shows 1005Mb is a bit bizarre. Probably some kernel thingy.
