hi, The last time I installed linux (over a year ago), I found linux had problems with extended DOS partitions and so I gave up, after trying millions of strategies, that is. But now I have over come the hurdle (changed the hard disk !!), and I have linux and it is like 'a dream come true'. However, the question is simply, on the resolution and the colours that are possible. Question: Can anyone tell me what the minimum video ram requirement is to be able to display 256 colours when running X-Windows. ?? Does that requirement change if fvwm has 9 virtual windows ?? Currently, I have a video card with 512K (!! ... yes they are still around) which can display 256 colours in windows at 640x480 resolution. Theoretically, is it possible to display 256 colours in X-windows ?? (by reducing the number of virtual windows say??) Thanking you in advance. Cheers, Rajnish
