I take it you have a shared memory system?? if so, then before you go nuts, tell the kernel at boot how much ram it now has..
(I think using the mem=xxx option to lilo). be sure that amount reflects your full ram, minus whatever you assign to the vid card in bios. then rerun the X config.. it may well now find the full amount... if not, then change the XF86 conf to use the full amount you specified in the bios for your vid card, at least that way you won't have kernel trying to use memory for system that the vid card is trying to use. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James Sparenberg Sent: Thursday, 10 October 2002 12:24 PM To: Expert List Subject: [expert] Feeling good about 9.0 now for the small problems Yeah I know always a complaint. a few things... One the fix of removing i686 libs immediately after glibc is installed makes the VIA CPU3 stand up and rock.... going to run bench marks on it this weekend and see what it can do. Woooo HOOO!. Problems 1. on the Via CPU'd box If I use multiple backgrounds (one per desktop) the desktop doesn't refresh when is switch desktops it only refreshes if I open an app and then move the app around the entire screen. (same problem on this box using kde3 in 8.2 but not in 9.0) 2. How in the heck can I stop kde from asking if I want to open a url or file path in konqueror or mozilla etc etc every time I type one out or highlight one for cut and paste. 3. On my Celeron box using an ASUS TUL2 montherboard 512 megs ram Mandrake cannot recognize more than 16 megs of video ram even though BIOS is set to 64 megs. SuSe and RH both recognize the full 64 megs and allow me to have 32 bit color at 1280x1024 In MDK the best I can ever do is 16 bit color. IF I manually edit XF86config-4 to reflect the full 64 megs ..... X won't run. Any Ideas on any of these 3? (PS this occurs in 8.1 8.2 and 9.0 ) Thanks all. James
