My 7200/90 only came with 1MB of onboard framebuffer memory. That limits your resolution+color depth pretty severely. 640x480x8bpp 300kB 640x480x16bpp 600kB 640x480x32bpp 1.2MB 800x600x8bpp 469kB 800x600x16bpp 938kB 800x600x32bpp 1.9MB I bought a 1MB stick of VRAM so I could get 800x600 with 24-bit color depth. And, yes, it will be slow. The 3.x FBDev server had no acceleration. -- G. Branden Robinson | One man's "magic" is another man's Debian GNU/Linux | engineering.
