I just installed Mandrake 8.1.I tried to configure X on my Intel i810 chipset but it is not working.Whatever VRAM i enter the error flashed is '16384kb of VRAM requested'
and 'Less than 6 MB of AGP memory available'.
I had previosly configured X in Red Hat 7.1 with 800x600 and 16bpp.I have 4MB of VRAM.I tried editing xfconfig file and made relevant changes but it did not work.Can you help me out :confused:

With 4MB VRAM you should be able to get 1024x768@32bpp no problem. Are you using the correct xserver? I don't know much about the i810 chipset but you might be able to use the svga xserver(without acceleration). Also, in your BIOS, is there a way to choose how much RAM is used as VRAM? I know some motherboards with embedded video allows this.
