If you set the color depth to 16 bits instead of 24 bits, you should be able to get 1024x768. (1024x768*16/8 < 2*1024*1024!) If you set it to 8 bits, you can get even more. Personally I hardly ever use 24 bit graphics because it makes mozilla, etc, use too much memory. Just change the "DefaultDepth" setting in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to 16. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
