X won't run on RedHat 4.0 (continued)



Well, I tried reconfiguring X again (once using xf86config and once using Xconfigurator) but it still won't work. It still says that there is too little memory for any virtual screen over 320*200. Here are my system parameters and the parameters of my X:

Computer - A Pentium 166 MHz with 16 MB of RAM. Linux runs on a Hard disk of about 200 MB, about 30 MB of which is a swap partition.

Graphics Card - Cirrus Logic GD542x or GD543x (I'm not sure which one) with 1 MB of memory.
Screen - ProView 15". Cand do 1280*1024 at 60 KHz. Vertical Sync: 50-100 MHz.
Clockchip setting - None.

The memory of the card enables me to do either 640*480, 800*600 or 1024*768 in 256 colors; 640*480, 800*600 in High Color(16-bit) and 640*480 in 24-bit color.

At the moment I am running Linux by using the LOADLIN.EXE utility which was included on the distribution CD-ROM. Until now I used the kernel from the CD-ROM, not the one which was installed on the hard-disk after the Linux installation. Still, I'm going to make a LILO boot disk pretty soon.

I'll proabably send the complete XF86Config file on sunday. Meanwhile, does anybody have any idea why it won't work?
