I think that the detected amount of video RAM is used to detect which colordepths are available at a given screen resolution. My problem is that i want my monitor at a resolution of 1280x1024 at 24 bpp in approx. 75 Hz. I cant get all three things in linux although I can i Windows.
Everytime i change the resolution-box in drakconf to 1280x1024 the depth automatically changes to 16bpp. I figured that this had something to do with the wrong amount of video RAM.
