Laptops :: Acer Travelmate 230, Intel 82845G , low colours/re

after trying the XF86config and mydsl packages, i came across these site's which helped:


http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html

http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel845g/linux.htm

basically all i ahd to do was change in my bios settings the amount of shared memory allocated to the video chip on boot-up... from 1Mb to 8Mb

no dont need any mydsl packages, the standard dsl iso works great now i get all the res choices in Xvesa panel !


--- now onto the modem...
