strange pattern on screen and so on. Devices not enabled by BIOS
are still initialized. It is default.
init - driver initializes every device it knows about.
+memtype - specifies memory type, implies 'init'. This is valid only for G200
+ and G400 and has following meaning:
+ G200: 0 -> 2x128Kx32 chips, 2MB onboard, probably sgram
+ 1 -> 2x128Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
+ 2 -> 2x256Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram

+ parameter.
nomtrr - disables write combining on frame buffer. This slows down driver but
there is reported minor incompatibility between GUS DMA and XFree
under high loads if write combining is enabled (sound dropouts).
