I have to disagree on this. It runs fine on most PC's, as they use standard
devices.

I'd be happy to write a new routine in assembly, if I had a clue as to how
the VM algorithm works in Linux. What should swapoff do if all physical

Are there any plans for including support for the ATI Rage 128 chipset into

The VESA setting does not work. Causes any program using svgalib to crash.
Are there any configuration settings in the kernel that may help with this?
