Very Computer

A friend of mine is trying to configure his X server to use the virtual
desktop.  It won't allow him to go any higher than 1024x768.  When he
does (1280x1024) it says that there isn't enough memory.  He has 8Mg
of ram and an 8Mg swap file.  Is this a problem with the new XFree?  It
used to work for me, and my system is even more limited than his.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ok, how's this for a suggestion - think how XFree can possibly manage
to get that virtual desktop scrolling about so *very* quickly.

Hint: I doubt he's got eight megs on his video card, eh?
