Difficult to determine package
-could the driver itself (nouveau or proprietary)
-could be false information given by the kernel to the driver...

seems to have similarities with

attempted (to limit video card memory use)
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "NVIDIA Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)"
    Driver "nouveau"
    Busid "03:09.0"
    VideoRam 262144
EndSection

has not worked

made several others attempts, none worked
Not able to determine if the reason is incorrect syntax (explanations are hardly available) or not

Actually, i think that one possibility is :
card memory range is 512Mo (de C0000000 à DFFFFFFF = 512Mo) , but only 256mb populated
