I've kinda new to Linux, so this question may be stupid for some. Anyway, I
just installed Mandrake 7.2 and it works like a charm. The only problem I
have is that I have a 32Mb Video Card (Guillemot Maxi Gamer Cougar) but
Linux keeps saying I only have 4Mb Card. I tried configuring it through
xf86config and I manually put the card's memory (32768) but after I reboot I
still have the same problem. I installed the latest nVidia drivers (0.9.6)
and it still works the same. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate
it.

System specs:
AMD K6-2 450 MHz
Guillemot Maxi Gamer Cougar (Chipset: nVidia TNT2 m64)
Mandrake 7.2 (Kernel 2.2.17)
XFree 4.0.1
