Avivo crash in xf86MapPciMem (X1950Pro 512M) and CRT blanking

The gzipped radeondumps are attached.  Also with respect to the crashing problem, I forgot to mention that the line "avivo->fb_size = INREG(RADEON_CONFIG_MEMSIZE);" set fb_size to 536870912 (512M), but fglrx only reports 256M.

Thanks,
Robert
