Hi, The 128 Mb aperture is the maximum amount of system memory the AGP can use as graphics memory, it's using 8Mb currently (but it can use 128 Mb max). you can usually adjust aperture size in your bios. -yuri ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To be honest I read about the intel graphics and how they work...but can quite remember it (brain probably did not use enough stolen memory) -yuri ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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. -yuri ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
