It's simple: you have enough video memory (8mb vs 32mb)
And no, there isnt any way not to show it beside to tell
X that mga_vid (or rather the -vo mga system) needs video
memory and it should clean up a bit. As this is afaik driver
internal, there is nothing we can do in this direction.

The only other way would be to save the used memory before
it's overwriten and to restore it again. But that need
to be done either into a file (which means it has to be
done in user space) or saved into the RAM (ie kernel
memory, ie not swapable). Both options are not very nice.
