Hi Dom,
That is what I initially expected - but then I tested the B rev2 with total_mem=255 in /boot/firmware/config.txt - and to my utter surprise, it worked.
Output is at http://paste.debian.net/hidden/1c0f4046
So either a) total_mem doesn't really limit the memory properly at some level, or b) it is actually possible to run kms in 256M.
Now, I'm perfectly happy to believe that it may not be reliable or supportable in 256M![:)]( "Smile")
My use case is possibly a little odd - all I want it to do is play audio over HDMI, and be able to do CEC. I don't actually care about displaying anything. (The audio is being decoded by the receiver).
I can possibly solve my issue by rebuilding the CEC libraries and re-instating the legacy CEC methods, but it would be nice to have a 'force kms even in 256M' option.
Cheers
David
