Bug Description

Lightdm and startx won't work and only getting a tty (at least). Drivers obviously not compatible with PAE kernel but work in generic non-PAE kernel. However, I've 8 GB of RAM in my machine and would like to use them.

Release: 12.04

Temporary fix - The drivers WILL work with the PAE kernel and the system boots to lightdm with kernel boot command "mem=4g" issued to parameters. There is still only 3031 MB of RAM available to the system. If there is some way to incorporate full PAE support without this extra command added to boot into the graphics driver and/or the next kernel revision I would be very grateful.
