Can any one help me a couple of problems.

The video chip I use is part of the mother board and uses my main
memory for video RAM.  You set it in the CMOS for either 1 or 2 meg of
Video memory.  When I try and run XWindows it only recognises that I
have 64K on the video card which will run nothing - any ideas short of
buying a new video card.

My CDROM is able to be recognises during the setup using the command
line "ramdisk hdd=cdrom" where my CD-ROM is set up as the slave on the
secondary IDE - I have a Goldstar GCD R542B Quad speed CD ROM.

The Kernel I was using for the CDROM is abare.  After linux is setup I
am unable to get it to detect the CDROM no matter what I try - any
ideas
