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
