No it does not use highmem.... AFAIK highmem is not concidered a safe option when you try to secure a kernel, but you could always recomile it yourself... > Moreover, more and more desktop machines have more and more memory since > > it has become very cheap.

The real problem was graphic cards with >64MB of RAM and how they reports their memory banks back to the kernel... I actually got a mail from one that had only 256MB system ram, and a graphic card with 128MB, and he had this probleb too... Anyway...

And if you want highmem support, use the enterprise kernel... -- Thomas Backlund [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.iki.fi/tmb
