thanks for the info..
my bios only has settings for 1Mb and 8M. Ive got it set to 8Mb now..
so If in my xorg.conf, I have VideoRam 32768
does this influence what the video card will use? I have that in my config now.. can I tell how much memory my video card is using?


Yes, if you set it to 1 Mb you probably can not go above 640x480 24bit colour in X, I think 1024x768 max but only at 8 bit colour, so 8 Mb is better.
As far as I know it's best to leave the VideoRam setting in xorg.conf commented out, In most cases the driver detects the memory X can use. The setting influences how much memory X uses for video modes, setting it too high can cause problems.
