Hi all,
I had a i845GL video chipset ....and when i was MS i saw that there is
64Mo on it.
Actually it shares system memory. You can set the amount in bios.
I can't give 64Mo in the bios...Limit to 8Mo
Then windows is out to lunch and you only have 8MBs
Yup.
Under FC1(Or other linux distro), i can't have 1152x864 as under MS.
So i wonder how many videoram the system use !!!
This will have nothing to do with your videoram amount. It has to do
with the mode lines for your video card and monitor. Do you have the
correct monitor settings?
yes i think !!!
I don't think so. This problem has nothing to do with the amount of
video memory. Either the video driver doesn't support that resolution or
your monitor settings are wrong.
Don't forget the color depth. If you go to 8- or 16-bit color rather
than the 24-bit color, you cut your memory requirements by 33-66%. You
can then get the 1152x864 size, but not as many colors. Here is the
video RAM needed for an 1152x864 display:
24-bit: 24MB
16-bit: 15MB
8-bit: 7.5MB
If all you can give is 8MB, you're limited to an 8-bit 1152x864 display
(256 colors). The formula is:
video RAM needed (in MB) = (width x height x number-of-bits)/1048576
