Wrong RAM size of my graphic card after BIOS update

[mza]

Today I have updated the BIOS at my T60 to Version 1.06 and have the following problems:

-> 512MB RAM size are displayed instead of 256MB
(128MB VRAM and 128MB shared)

-> Colorproblem. OS undepened. Tested with Debian Sid and WinXP SP2. The colors of the OS were displayed like at a high compressed JPEG image. Looks like a brush effect.

Has someone the same problems like me with his T60?

Here are some technical details about my TP:
T60 2007-63G (T2500 CoreDuo)
ATI Mobile Radeon X1400
TFT Screen resolution 1400x1050
BIOS version 79ET61WW 1.06
Embedded Controller Version: 1.04

Someone other than myself needs to chime in here with the technical explanation -- but I do know this is not a *problem* -- but is expected.

I was at the local electronics superstore not too long ago, and a laptop (or two) had the same "issue" -- where the advertised amount of video RAM was "X" (i.e., 256MB) and the displayed amount of video ram was "2*X" (i.e., 512MB). Along came a (suprisingly) knowledgable employee who rattled off some explanation about why it did that -- but I've since forgotten the details.

Ok. That's right, it isn't really a problem, sorry. Thought that this information may help someone to figure out, if he has the same problem like me with the colors... can't change the subject anymore, sorry...
