Erm, basic maths required.

1240 x 1080 @ 8 bit/pixel[1] > 4Mb, which is why it doesn't work.
try 1024x786 @ 8 bit.

For $80[2], you should be able to pick up the 8Mb version of this card,
although some Eagle AGP cards say for $90 you can get 32Mb. i.e. there
are plenty of cheap cards with humungous ram out there if you really
want 1240x1080@16 million colours.


[1] 8 bit is 256 colours.
[2] cheaper at the markets - I said it to beat the chorus {:-).
