Hi,

I just installed the Fedora 2 Core and everything went through smoothly, after the first boot, I am taken to the gnome screen and if i try to move a window or something the entire system freezes, I understand that this could be because of the amount of video memory in my system. I have a VIA Apollo VT8601T chipset (built in Graphics) which has a Trident graphics accelerator. Somewhere in the VIA Arena Site, i downloaded the Fedora drivers which has only the Fedora v1 drivers, The driver setup document says that I need to setup the video memory to 8MB which is what I have set in the BIOS, but there is no option anywhere to set the amount of video memory.

Is there any tool (or xorg.conf) file hack that can help me limit the amount of video meory to 8MB?

Please help!

Can someone tell me how I get around this??


TIA

If you are wanting to limit the onboard video card, you will have to edit your BIOS configuration in order to make this change, I believe.
