It looks you've got a system that's not allowing more than 832Kb for
video memory for the BIOS modes.

Check the BIOS to see if you can increase it from 1MB to 8MB, or if not
contact the manufacturer of your machine for an updated BIOS.

I fear this is the good old intel chipset problem again. Without the agpgart
module it won't support the extended BIOS calls to let it know there's more
memory available, and with the 832KB it detects it can't do much. Is this
a general problem for X users, or are all these reports tied to a single
distribution? I see these problems marching by on this mailinglist in a
very regular pattern.

[XFree86] No Video BIOS mode for chosen depth

2003-06-18 Thread Ib Koersner
Hello

I have the following problem. 

On one machine (DELL Optiplex GX260) using the integrated
Intel Extreme 845G based grahics and that is running RedHat 7.3
I get the following line in the errorlog when I try to startx:

No Video BIOS mode for chosen depth

It may be a hardware error. 
Can anyone confirm ?
