Configuring Linux To Use Nvidia In Built Memory

Novatian · 12-28-2010, 02:15 PM

Hi, I have an ASUS, dual core Pentium 4, with 3GB RAM, 500GB HDD and in built Nvidia card with 512 MB RAM, the latter I wish to make sure the configuration of Linux uses, at my next install.

I plan to install, Macpup 511, Ubuntu Studio, Fuduntu, Fedora14 and I will try for Free BSD, Fusion Linux, Debian stable, dual boots. I may need GAG going.

Ok.... go ahead.... install it

I dont see what the issue is - Until you've installed it, you can't test to see if its working. I'm presuming your wanting to test the 3D capibilities?

What are you trying to do? Linux should use the RAM automatically.

But I have a question, can you please post the correct modell number of your mainboard? I never heard of integrated graphics with 512MB discrete RAM.

My board is a Biostar TA790GX A3+. Has an integrated Radeon HD3300 with on board 128MB DDR2 Side-Port memory. Or are you saying you've never seen a mainboard with that much discrete RAM?

I know about boards with 128MB of discrete RAM, I just never have seen one with 512MB. So I am asking exactly that:
