The latest git version of the modsetting driver seems to be miscomputing 
the number of scanlines for the pixmap cache on my 945GM.

It comes up with

(II) I810(0): Allocating at least 4344 scanlines for pixmap cache
(II) I810(0): Initial framebuffer allocation size: 21472 kByte
(EE) I810(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRAM set too low?

The cacheLines computation in i830_memory.c is

          size = 3 * lineSize * pScrn->virtualY;
          size += 1920 * 1088 * 2 * 2;
          size = ROUND_TO_PAGE(size);

          cacheLines = (size + lineSize - 1) / lineSize;


lineSize is 1K*4, so cacheLines is roughly  3*virtualY +2K, and with 
virtualY at 768 that works out to about 4K.

Older versions of the driver used

            cacheLines = (pI830Ent->pScrn_2->depth == 24) ? 256 : 384;

and gave


(II) I810(0): Allocating at least 256 scanlines for pixmap cache
(II) I810(0): Initial framebuffer allocation size: 7680 kByte

I don't think this is the whole issue, since even if I force cachelines 
down so the initial allocate works on the the current code, I get

(EE) I810(0): Failed to allocate HW cursor space.
(EE) I810(0): Failed to allocate HW (ARGB) cursor space.
(EE) I810(0): Failed to allocate Overlay register space.
(EE) I810(0): Failed to allocate linear buffer space


Suggestions?
