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...
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?
It's an old trick with MTD devices:

Nice trick. If you also have swapspace on disk, remember to
give the "mtd swap" higher priority in /etc/fstab.
That way, disk swapping will only happen when the mtd swap is full.
