Ok, I dropped the resolution down to 1024x768, and from looking
at the XFree86.0.log it looks like the amount of Video Memory is
not an issue anymore, but now, it can not open the drm device.


Here's a snippet of XFree86.0.log

In my XF86Config-4 file, I put in 0666 for the DRI. Would that
be related to this? Below is a snippet of my XF86Config-4 file.
