vidoe ram? /2much

[parn]

How do I control the amount of video that my card gets.  dmesg says that 320meg 
is for video.  I dont want it that high.  I read about append = for lilo and 
was wondering how to place it in and how much should be given.  I have an i810 
board w/700 celeron.  Debian testing/unstable w/ 2.4.9 going.  would 16 meg for 
video be sufficient?  I dont use  alot of video.
Thanks to any that reply!
