I have Linux 2.0.30 and tried to setup xf86config. It recomends to
use SuperProbe. I do this and it sees 0k of memory with 4Mb on an
attached co-processor. I have an ATI 3D PRO TURBO with 4Mb. When I
type startx, I get an error message saying not enough memory for video
mode. The mode is the basic 640x480. Has anyone else had a simular
proble, or can you recommend some solutions.
Thanks, Paul M

edit the XF86Config file, it is in /etc/X11, you will find the line
(somewhere towards the end) VideoRam has # in front of it, remove
this save file and you will find all ok. This seems to be a bug in
both config programs, that this line remains hashed,

resolutions fully hardware accelerated. It works right out of the box and
