hmmm. i just checked out my config file and as far as i can tell, it
doesn't specify VRAM (or RAM, for that matter. but i think you were
talking about video RAM. right?) anywhere. unless it's being
particularly crafty, or i'm being particularly dense. in the interest
of redundancy, i'll copy it below.
i think the key might be the "use modeline" line but i tried editing
it a couple of ways and each time it crashed x. obviously i'm
committing some syntax sin or another, but i can't figure it out.
thanks for your effort and suggestions though. and you're right about
the lousy looking 640x480. all i know about resolution i learned from
photoshop, and this (display, chipset, driver, or whatever) doesn't
seem to be sampling down very well. curiously, my screenshots look
great. i am curious why the native file format is PNG... or is that
only in the KDE screenshot utility?
