 I am not really sure this is really possible, but here is the scenario:

 My machine has 2 unsupported ATI Radeon HD 3780 video cards. Each card has
 512 Mb of video memory. My machine also has 4 Gb of memory but because the
 video memory in both cards are mapped to the memory address space, Haiku
 only reports 3072 Mb of memory installed.

 I do understand that even running in VESA mode, the 512 Mb of the primary
 video card would be mapped to the memory address space too (so would "eat"
 512 Mb of it), but the second video card is completely unused and an
 option to completely disable it would be mostly welcome so I could reclaim
 those 512 Mb of unused memory.

 of course, the other option is switching to 64 bits. :)
