This is the upper limit for the AGP aperture size the DRI can use.

Yes, exactly. ;) No hardware TCL (well, actually some VEs do seem to
have that, you can try the RADEON_TCL_FORCE_ENABLE environment variable
if you're desperate for more fps, but be warned that it will lock up if
it doesn't work with your chip). Also, try to enable page flipping if
you haven't already.
