Would you consider implementing a work around (aka non

a waste of time ?
In the 2.4 kernel this test in mm/mlock.c limits page locking to half
of physical memory...
/* we may lock at most half of physical memory... */
/* (this check is pretty bogus, but doesn't hurt) */
if (current->mm->total_vm > num_physpages/2)
goto out;
Maybe that test is being confused by the presence of video memory somehow.
If you're looking for kludges, try commenting it out to see what
happens.
