The X server detected 2048K (2M) of video RAM on your card.
The X server also defaulted to a color depth of 24. This means
that 24 bits, or three bytes, of video RAM are needed for each
pixel. This is known as "true color" mode. At the default desktop
size of 1024x768, you would need 1024*768*3, or 2,359,296 bytes
of video RAM to specify the color information for each pixel.
Dividing by 1024 to convert to "K", that yields 2304K of video
RAM, which is more video RAM than is installed.
I would suggest
that you drop the color depth down to 16. This is 16-bit color
or "high color" mode. It's not quite as good as 24-bit color,
but pictures still look pretty good.
On my web site at
http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/tp600.htm
you will find an example X configuration file which specifies
a color depth of 16. Don't copy it verbatim, because it is
designed for a different video chipset. But it does provide
a useful template to get you started.
