hey

working here on an Asus L1-laptop which contains the Intel 830M graphical
chip. when loading the agpgart module, it prints in syslog that there is
only 1 Meg 'stolen ram'. like that, it's not possable to run X @ 1024x768
with more then 256 colors.

i searched on the intel-website, which told me hat i should be able to
change this setting in my bios. *not*

can't i reserve any more ram myselve by selecting linux only to use 256 -
8 Meg or something @ boot-time ?

tnx !!
michael

btw: sry for my n00b'ism ;)
