	Well, the obvious solution which I suggested before (and which
was seconded as a good idea by Rick Moen) is to double-check the
amount of video ram that you are claiming to have in
/etc/X11/XF86config .  Most likely you're telling your video card that
it has (for example) 8 megabytes of RAM when it actually has (again, for
example) 4 megabytes of RAM.
