Can you add the output of kudzu -p -b ddc and tell me the actual memory on the card. I imagine that we don't think we can support that resolution. Also could you check if there are any firmware updates for your card available. Thanks
# kudzu -p -b ddc - class: VIDEO bus: DDC detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "NeoMagic MagicMedia 256 AV" mem: 2496 I've no idea how much memory is on the card (never opened up the box); all I know that it has enough to do 1024x768 in millions of colours. :-)
