Hi!
How can I check the memsize of a matrox g400?
I have a card with 16Mb memory, and the lspci show this:

Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
Memory at e600 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
I suspect this is actually in response to the reported breakings and
external access to the M$ code base.
There have been a number of concerns about backdoors, trojan horses or
other things being maliciously added to the code base and the
resulting extreme security risk.

Enterprise customers are beginning to see the value of having
source available, and MS is doing this as a half-baked
solution to give decition makers one less reason for switching
to Open Source.
Microsoft such attempts can be viewed as either

Actually, if you look closely, there is an OOPS report in there at the
end as well. Unfortunately, since the tasklist

You can modify your compiler, so that it accepts patches (with no context)
and completely rewrite anything that needs modified.

Indeed. They've been very successful so far in getting people to

ISDN card (Hisax HFC-PCI) and a NE2000 compatible nic (ne.c). I
