Sorry - I was out and playing with Potato, and had that environment
fetch my mails, but this is a reply to pixel.
I did:
ddcxinfos | head -1 and got:
4096KB of video ram
Question:
I have manually opened up the videoram and changed the amount to 32768
in my two XF86Config - and thought that I got what I wanted.
What else should one do and where to get the nominal nv results?
