I can see that - on my VAIO there's ~6MB of video memory for a 1024x768 screen, so if twice the memory is being used (one display, one buffer) normally, that would take up most of the memory available. If VMWare needs to get another buffer from that, there wouldn't be enough space with only 6MB of RAM total. ajm _______________________________________________ Neomagic mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/neomagic
