I think this is how you calculate the memory needed for video: width * height * color depth = memory needed in bits. divide the number by 8 then by 1024 to get kbytes (I think). for example: lets see how much video memory is needed for a 640x480, true color (24-bit) screen: (((640 *

Hersh, The calculation you need to perform is simple. The number of colors is a power of two. 256 colors is 2^8, which means each pixel requires 8 bits to store its color. (This is what you get with X_COLOR_DEPTH = 8 in lts.conf.) 8 bits is 1 Byte. So, now you take your various resolutions a
