The BIOS only has options for 32/64/128 megabytes. Intel cheaped out |
| 7 |
with the on-board graphics, and used system ram, instead of its own ram. |

I have 8 gigs on the machine, so 256 megs wouldn't hurt. |

Selecting the i915 driver, or VESA, automatically forces framebuffer. |
| 15 |
Any other selection, and X won't work. Framebuffer is right down there |
| 16 |
with hal and dbus in my list of unfavourite drivers. Unfortunately, the |
| 17 |
only other option is some form of VESA, which also requires framebuffer. |
