Actually, increasing GARTSize will do nothing for the r200
driver, as it doesn't really use GART memory at all (only if you use
Mesa's glx memory allocator) afaik. The r200 driver uses only 1 texture
heap.

Increasing the value should do nothing, but shouldn't cause any problems
neither. Not sure what's wrong here, though I vaguely remember there 
were some bugs mentioned with using large gart sizes and/or cards with 
256MB memory (?).

I didn't see any problems when I last looked at it, I'll see if I can 
reproduce it next week.
