 hmmm, we might be using similar chipsets:
 
 vgapci0 at pci0:0:2:0:     class=3D0x030000 card=3D0x1c221043 chip=3D0x0046808=
 6
 rev=3D0x12 hdr=3D0x00
     vendor     =3D 'Intel Corporation'
     class      =3D display
     subclass   =3D VGA
     cap 05[90] =3D MSI supports 1 message
     cap 01[d0] =3D powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0
     cap 13[a4] =3D PCI Advanced Features: FLR TP
 
 dmesg says:
 
 agp0: <Intel Ironlake (M) SVGA controller> on vgapci0
 agp0: detected 32764k stolen memory
 agp0: aperture size is 256M
