Subject: thinkpad x200 X.server not work with gm4500 graphics

deal,

    My thinkpad x200's X.server can not startup on the kernel 2.6.28,
and dmesg will show as below:
    -->>--
    [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

    pci 0000:00:02.0: trying to insert into local/stolen memory
    --<<--

    Then, I change file "drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.c" as this:
    -->>--

    -               size = 4;

    +               size = 516;

    And Xorg can start now.
(1) Is it correct ?
    Because older kernel use size as "512 + 4" at here, but now use "size = 4".
(2) How to deal with it if the patch is not right ?
(3) How to get more specification about gm4500 ?
