Yup, 1024x768 worked in 8bpp mode. Thanks. > In order to use most resolutions, it is necessary to install the > 'agpgart.o' module which accompanies this server. No problem there. That module comes with the RedHat kernel and it's automatically loaded by starting the X server. > It could be that it's only prepared to take between 768 KiB and 937 > KiB of system RAM, or at least that's what the BIOS mode list's > ModeAttributes's MODE_SUPPORTED field suggests. Ah ha, the BIOS. It turns out that there is a BIOS option for video memory. It was set to 1024k. (I guess Windows is able to happily ignore this setting.) I raised it to 8192k, and now 1024x768 works in 16bpp. Thanks. > If I had seen that line a couple hours ago I would have saved > myself... a couple hours! Wow, I spent about a half hour trying to debug my problem, and you spend a couple of hours on it. Maybe I was unclear about which one of us is going to use this computer? :-) Seriously though, thanks very much!
