Thanks for the reply. Your site mentions: | | The trick is: 16 bit color only! Yes, that will get DRM | going on an 8MB Rage128 Mobility. I'll try that when I get home, but... | It's a bitch, OSX can do | it in Millions of Colors, so why can't X? That's a very good question. Does anyone here have an answer? 8 MB should be plenty for a 32 bpp 1024x768 double-buffered display (1024 x 768 x 32 / 8 / 1024 / 1024 = 3 MB, for 2 buffers (front and back) that's 6 MB required).
