It sounds as if you have memory hole enabled (usually done for isa vga cards). If you don't need the hole, disable it in the bios. If you do have an isa vga card you have a few options: 1. disable the memory hole, so the card can't be used in linear mode, so XF86 will only run at 8bpp. svgalib (and maybe commercial X servers) can still use high color modes. 2. Enable the memory hole and use only 14MB of ram. 3. Enable the hole, and either upgrade to 2.3, or look for a e820 patch for 2.2 kernel. -- Matan Ziv-Av.
