Vid card memory
I've recently added a 1Mb memory module to my Trident TGUi 9440 vid
card, giving a totla of 2Mb. I'd done this with the expectation that I
could then use 600x800x2 (16-bit color = 2 bytes) = 960000 which is <
1Mb. But when I try this (forcing 600x800 in XF86Config) X tries to
start and dies over and over (I must reboot from floppy). Now my
thinking is that 1Mb means 1MegaBit, so 600x800x16 = 7.68 Mbits thus no
joy. Have I finally got it right? TIA for any light you all might add
to the heat of my fevered brain.
