B/W G3 ATY 128 vram not recognized

[alex khalil]

Hello

  This B/W G3 displays only 614k of VRAM which allows it 640x480 in
16 bits.
  The video card is an ATY 128.

  How to make the rest of the VRAM appear in Xconfigurator.

  I used kernel 2.2.10 rev2 for B/W G3, XF86_FBDev 3.3.5, and otherwise
LinuxPPC 5 with the set of security updates from linuxppc.org

  Thanks

alex

If you have BootX's "no video driver" checked, Xconfigurator will not be
able to correctly detect your VRAM.

Xconfigurator frequently doesn't work right anyways, in which case I'd
suggest Xautoconfig.
