Title: cannot configure X for graphics card with 1MB ram Status in “xserver-xorg-video-s3” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I tried installing Hoary on a system with S3 Trio64V+. During package installation I was asked about desired screen resolutions but not screen depth. Since the card has only 1MB of memory and the default color depth is 24 (but 32bpp) no sensible mode could be set. X started but nothing could be seen on the screen (possibly bug in doublescan support on the card). Changing the default depth to 16 made X work. I am not sure how this condition can be detected (except perhaps scanning Xorg.log for the memory size). But it may be that this limitation should just be mentioned on a hardeware requirements page which should be easy to find on the Ubuntu site.
