In normal case, using harddisk as a swap space i should ask how to cut
down swapping, or make swapping when idle, etc... My case is a little
bit diffrent... I have a 256MB video card, while 240MB of it is used
as a swap space. And the question is: how to tune kernel to swap more
often. I known swapped memory must be copied back to ram before beeing
used, so i'm looking for a reasonable tunning values...

What do You think about that mighty list ?
Actually this list is not about Linux tuning. Please read post only about bugs and patches for the linux kernel.

Anyway, I guess what you are looking for is the "swappiness". For more info check http://www.brunolinux.com/06-Fine_Tuning_Your_System/Swappiness.html

Am I correctly understanding that you are using your video card memory as a place to put swap? This sounds quite cool, how have you done this? Is there a driver which can report the video ram as a block device?

see you,
Eric
