You need to multiply this figure by 3 for the front, back and depth buffers which gives 8610KB. More than the 8192KB of video memory you have.

I have 8MB of video ram. According to the DRI calculator, I should be able to do 1400x1050 in 16bpp. That is not the case. I can only do 1280x1024 in 16bpp. I can't do DRI in 24bpp and 1280x1024.

Re: [Xpert]ATI Rage 128 Mobility and DRI
Most likely you do not have enough video ram for this. One suggestion is to switch to 16bpp. Vladimir Dergachev On 21 Apr 2002, Doug Alcorn wrote: > I thought I would post this mainly to populate google.

[Xpert]ATI Rage 128 Mobility and DRI
I thought I would post this mainly to populate google. I can't remember where I saw the user comment with the solution. Probably on the dri.sourceforge.net site. Anyway, my Rage 128 Mobility LF won't do DRI at resolutions higher than 1280x1024. I don't know if this is a limited by the chipset or the dri drives. Wouldn't hurt if this was documented in a manpage or something. -- (__) Doug Alcorn - Unix/Linux/Web Developing oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lathi.net ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
