Did you update anything on the userspace side (ddx, mesa, xserver)?
Can you bisect what commit is causing the problems?

2.6.35 added support for vram greater then the size of the PCI
framebuffer BAR (256 MB in your case).  The amount of vram accessible
to the CPU is limited by the size of the PCI framebuffer BAR, however
the GPU can access the entire amount. 2.6.35 works around this
restriction so that the CPU can access the entire amount of vram.
