You have what I assume is the card's video memory mapped twice.  This is
a) not real memory usage, and b) well over 99% of your server's address
space.  The remaining 15M is positively svelte by comparison.

It's likely that this is a freshly launched X server?  You probably want
to look at resource and memory usage once it's been running a while.
